He is an employee of the Aoiya and is usually referred to as "Shiro." He has a slender build and is skilled in using gauntlet-style throwing shuriken. Like Hannya and Misao Makimachi, he is a practitioner of the Oniwabanshū-style martial arts, possessing enough strength to effortlessly deal with elite-level ordinary soldiers under Shishio's command.
In the first anime adaptation, he reappears in the Black Knight Group arc, alongside Kurojou, where both sustain injuries. Afterwards, he and his companion see off Kenshin Himura and the others as they depart in search of the elixir.
In the revised edition (Volume 22), his headband receives the same arrangement as that given to Kurojou.
