Kondou, Isao
近藤 勲
His superior is Matsudaira Katakuriko, a high-ranking government officer under the direct control of the Bakufu. Although the Shinsengumi are loyal to Kondou, he frequently relies on Vice-Commander Hijikata Toushirou to calm the group down—using harsh words or violence—before he can deliver a speech.
Kondou is close friends with Hijikata Toushirou and Okita Sougo of the Shinsengumi. As Kondou once told Sougo, if any one of them ever strayed, the other two would punch him back to where he belongs. Sougo also frequently notes that Kondou's nice-guy attitude is a weakness, as he never notices the negative points in other people.
During the Mutiny arc, Itou Kamotarou described him as honest, pure, and unsullied. In the same arc, Hijikata Toushirou described him as the soul of the Shinsengumi, with the rest of the group serving as the sword that protects him. Hijikata also stated that everyone joined the Shinsengumi to be with Kondou, and that as long as he was there, the Shinsengumi would not be finished.
When Kondou once asked Shimura Tae if she would still love her boyfriend if he had a hairy butt, she replied that she would love him just as much, hairy butt and all. This response made her the target of his stalking. As a stalker of Tae, Kondou is often seen getting beaten up or threatened by her, since she strongly disapproves of his stalking and affection toward her.
In the Yagyuu arc, Kondou set his mind on becoming Shimura Shinpachi's brother-in-law, going so far as to say that Shinpachi was the only person he could entrust the Shinsengumi to. This greatly annoyed Shinpachi, who replied that he didn't give a damn about the Shinsengumi.
In his childhood, Kondou Isao was a member of a dojo in Bushuu. There, he soon met Okita Sougo and Hijikata Toushirou, recruiting both of them into his dojo. Kondou later took all the members with him and moved from Bushuu to Edo in search of success, forming what is now the Shinsengumi.
Some characters in the series often call him "gorilla" due to his hirsute nature. Although he is angered by this nickname, he sometimes uses the same word to identify himself.
Kondou is loosely based on the historical Kondou Isami, famed for his role as commander of the Shinsengumi during the Bakumatsu period.
