Eibin Tamono

A government military officer who holds the rank of Baron. He plotted to cause the downfall of Aritomo Yamagata and seize the position of Army Minister for himself, secretly diverting military weapons to Kajiki (although he did not consider Kajiki an ally). After the battle between Kenshin Himura and Tokisada Mutou, he attempted to have Kenshin, Sagara Sanosuke, and Tokisada Mutou's group killed by ordering the army to open fire, resulting in Tokisada Mutou's death. This act enraged Kenshin, who defeated him before he could even draw his saber, after which he was arrested by the police. Until the very end, he seemed unaware that Kenshin was the legendary Hitokiri Battousai.
