Ito is the third highest-ranking member of the Shinsengumi. It could be said that he is the brains of the organization, being in  charge of devising strategies and commanding troops.

Despite his polite demeanor and way of speaking, Ito is constantly looking for ways to get an upper hand on other people, and he is scheming to take Kondo’s place as Chief of the Shinsengumi.

*All still frames, and footage has been captured using the PlayStation®5 Version.
