Takasugi, Shinsuke
高杉 晋助
He, Gintoki, and Katsura attended the same temple elementary school during their childhood, and he fought alongside them against the Amanto invasion in the later stages of the Joui war. Following the war's conclusion, he disappeared, subsequently earning a dangerous reputation through the assassination of many of the Bakufu's key officers and his orchestration of a large-scale coup d'etat. Prior to his initial appearance in both the anime and the manga, it was mentioned that he had fled Edo and was hiding in Kyoto, though the duration of this period remains unclear.
He now holds the belief that the only way to save it is to destroy the "rotten" post-Joui war world.
He is depicted as enjoying festivals, although this interest stems primarily from the opportunities they present for large-scale terrorist attacks: he seems to possess an attraction to ruin that borders on nihilism. He also appears to demonstrate considerable insight, evidenced by his ability to 'see through Itou's heart' and subsequently place him within the Shinsengumi's ranks.
It can be assumed that he is as skilled a swordsman as both Gintoki and Katsura, having fought alongside them as one of the 'heroes' of the Joui war. Aside from that, he appears to have at least considerable proficiency in playing the shamisen, and is shown at one point playing it with Bansai while they converse.
He is based on the historical figure Takasugi Shinsaku.
