Hijikata, Toshie

土方歳絵

Toshie Hijikata is the daughter of Toshizo Hijikata and serves as the Mobile Shinsengumi's expert sharpshooter. Although she is skilled with firearms, she is a poor cook because she has a bad sense of taste. Little is known about her background, but she apparently cannot recall her mother's face, and the only photograph she possesses is missing the face. Consequently, Gennai built a "mother" robot that is an exact replica of Toshie, which led to some confusion.
Hijikata appears to be the most intelligent of the three girls, as she is seen relaxing in a hot spring while reading a Jules Verne book. She is also the most logical of the group, to the extent that Kondo frequently remarks that she is like a machine. Additionally, she bears a strong resemblance to a female version of Sesshomaru from Inuyasha, given her similar long white hair, Chinese-influenced attire, icy demeanor, and dismissive attitude toward slapstick.
