Saitou, Hajime

斎藤一

Hajime Saitou is loosely based on the real third-squad captain of the Shinsengumi. During the Meiji era, he served as a police officer under the name Gorou Fujita. In the Rurouni Kenshin series, he acts as Kenshin's former rival and enemy from the Bakumatsu period. He shows no compassion or mercy toward his foes and adheres to the Shinsengumi code "Aku Soku Zan (悪即斬)," which literally means "Slay Evil Immediately," though it is more poetically translated as "Swift Death To Evil." His signature move is the Gatotsu, a left-handed thrust that serves as a variation of the Hirazuki technique created by Toshizou Hijikata, the Vice Commander of the Shinsengumi. While the Gatotsu is a fictional technique exclusive to the Rurouni Kenshin series, the Hirazuki is a genuine technique employed by many Shinsengumi members.
