Personality: Some would say that he has two personalities. There is the smiling, cheerful Souji in his white yukata, and then there is the grim, merciless Shinsengumi captain Okita Soujirou dressed in blue. In white, he has a love of sweets and practical jokes, and also enjoys playing with children. In blue, the demon is released, and he colours the world red, slashing through all who stand in his path.
Known as the "genius" swordsman of the Shinsengumi, there are few who can equal his skill with the blade. In battle he shows little pity, and his harshness shines through in the dojo. However, he does not lack mercy or compassion, and during peaceful moments, he lets his soft, almost girly side show. Some may ask: which half is the real one? But remember- you need two halves to make a whole.
