==Personality ==
 
 
Hijikata is a strict disciplinarian to his troops, hence his nickname the "Demonic Vice-Commander" (鬼の副長). At the same time, he is very thoughtful and mature and puts the Shinsengumi and Kondou above everything else; he believes that it is his duty to rule with an iron fist as the shadow behind Kondou's light. Hijikata's greatest desire is to elevate the commander's position and make Kondou a great samurai. Always trying to soften the world for Kondou is one of Hijikata's greatest flaws.
 
 
Hijikata is very serious but does tend to smile occasionally, and he does have a nice side that he tries to hide. He has a lot of respect for women, which is one of the reasons for being so protective of [http://hakuouki.wikia.com/wiki/Chizuru_Yukimura Chizuru]. When she first encounters the Shinsengumi in Season 1, it is Hijikata who vouches for her life, arguing that if she were a threat he would deal wtih her. [http://hakuouki.wikia.com/wiki/Okita_Souji Okita Souji], who has known Hijikata since his childhood, has a habit of messing around with him, especially with his haiku books. Although Hijikata is exasperated by Souji's behavior, he sees him as a little brother and is very protective of him.

Sannan Keisuke is a scholarly-looking man with big round glasses. He has bark brown, shoulder length hair that is slicked-back, leaving one lock of bangs on the left-hand side of his face. Sannan wears a casual dark green kimono shirt with a dark blue vest overtop and black open-end pants. In some versions of the Shinsengumi story "Sannan" is considered to be a nickname, with "Yamanami" given as the real pronunciation of his surname (<span style="font-weight: normal">山南), but his canonical name in Hakuouki is "Sannan". </span>
Toshizo "Toshi" Hijikata is rather handsome (a nod to his real-life counterpart), with long black hair that falls to his waist. His eyes are dark purple, and he is one of the taller members of the Shinsengumi. In the second season, he cuts his hair short. He wears a patterned purple kimono top and grey hakama in the first season, and carries a katana and wakizashi on his hip. In season 2, he changes to an elaborate blue and black western-style outfit.

[[File:Vlcsnap-2012-08-10-11h16m26s238.png|thumb|295px|Sannan trying use a sword with only one hand]]
Hijikata came from a prosperous peasant family that also produced medicine, the Ishida Sankyuu. The folk medicine could heal cuts and bruises when taken with sake. Hijikata is proud of it even though it apparently tastes "gross", according to [http://hakuouki.wikia.com/wiki/Heisuke_Toudou Heisuke].
 
 
Though he was expected to work in the family or apprentice in a small business nearby, Hijikata quit multiple times, dissatisfied with his life and circumstances. During his stint as a medicine peddler, he met Kondou, the adopted son of a small dojo master. It was then that Hijikata finally found his calling in life and resolved to become a Samurai. This was a tall dream in his day and age, as the class system in Japan was very strict and it was nearly impossible for a peasant to become a warrior. Even so, Hijikata joined the Shieikan dojo and, after getting permission from the Bakufu, moved to Kyoto to start the Shinsengumi.
 
 
'''''Second Season'''''
 
Hijikata has worked himself to the point of exhaustion and his control over his thirst for blood as a Rasetsu is weakening each day. At the same time, he is becoming gentler to Chizuru and the two are developing feelings for each other.
 
 
He puts the Rasetsu Unit out of action after Saito tells him that the Rasetsu's extraordinary powers come from using up their life force. Hijikata disapproves of further experimenting with the Ochimizu, as he sees it as senselessly wasting his soldiers' lives.
 
 
When Kondou sacrifices himself to allow the Shinsengumi to escape, Hijikata nearly cries out of despair at his own powerlessness to protect the person he wanted to protect the most. He only obeys Kondou's wishes after he, as commander of the Shinsengumi, orders him to leave with Chizuru. During the escape, Hijikata destroys an entire troop of enemy soldiers in his anger.
 
 
Eventually, Hijikata allows Chizuru to give him her blood to alleviate his pain and the two grow closer as a result.
 
 
While fighting as the new section leader of a new army, he inspires his men with his strength and bravery by charging headlong into battle. His troops take a castle as a result, though that castle would be reclaimed by the enemy due to the Bakufu's incompetence. In the castle, Hijikata runs into Kazama Chikage and his follower Amagiri. Despite admonitions from Amagiri to stop fighting, Kazama charges into battle with Hijikata and severely injures him with a demon-slaying blade called Douji-giri Yasutsuna, a legendary sword once used by a demon named Minamoto Yorimitsu to slay the oni, Shuten Douji.
 
 
After the battle, Chizuru takes Hijikata into hiding to allow him to recover while Saitou takes over as temporary leader. Later, enemy soldiers discover Hijikata's location and plan a surprise attack but are stopped by Okita, who makes a last stand to protect Hijikata. Hijikata learns about Okita's efforts in the night and, while still weak and injured, manages to reach the mountain pass that Okita had been fighting at with Chizuru's support. However, he is too late; he finds only Okita's sword surrounded by the bodies of the defeated enemies, implying that Okita has faded into dust after completing his last mission.
 
 
[[File:Polj.jpg|thumb|398px|Hijikata's different costumes]]
 
 
Hijikata, along with Heisuke, infiltrate Sendai castle to get Chizuru back after she is unwillingly taken by Koudou. He, along with Heisuke and Sannan, slay the army of rasetsu that Sannan and Koudou had brought. Heisuke and Sannan, after using up their lifespans, tell Hijikata not to rush through life, before turning to dust. As he departs for Hakodate, Hijikata orders Chizuru to stay behind, much to her dismay.
 
 
At the end of season 2, Hijikata has a hallucination of Chizuru, which makes him realize his feelings for her. Although surprised to see her come to Hakodate to work as his attendant, Hijikata admits that he wants her to be at his side. The night before the final battle, Hijikata and Chizuru confess their love for each other and kiss. As they come across a beautiful cherry blossom tree the next day, Hijikata faces off with Kazama for the last time. He defeats Kazama but is severely weakened in the fight and falls unconscious to the ground. As Chizuru cries at the end of the episode, a hand is shown reaching up to wipe away her tears, suggesting that Hijikata may still live.

Sannan's character has become extremely dark; he is now obsessed with finding blood and ways to improve [http://hakuouki.wikia.com/wiki/Ochimizu Ochimizu]. In fact, he even goes so far to ask Chizuru for blood, due to her demon status. Sannan is intrigued and delighted to find out that Koudou has created a Rasetsu that can survive in daylight. His night-time activities of searching for blood in town and the fact that the Rasetsu are wasting their lives away by using their powers causes the Rasetsu Unit to be shut down.
In SSL, Hijikata is the homeroom teacher of Second Year, Form One. He teaches the Classics and is also a Disciplinarian Adviser. He acts on behalf of Kondou as the Assistant Principal presiding over most of the school's management and is a childhood friend of Kondou as well. In his varsity years, he was Kazama's classmate and even now, is always at loggerheads with him. Hijikata currently lives alone in a mansion near the school and is a habitual smoker.
 
   
  +
Nearing the end of the second season, Sannan forges an alliance with Koudou to create more Rasetsu and bring rise to the new demon breed. He is confronted by Hijitaka and Heisuke who oppose the idea and Chizuru refused to take control of the Rasetsu, not wanting to revive her clan. Sannan surprised all them by suddenly attacking the Rasetsu instead of Hijitaka. To him, Shinsengumi orders mean more than anything else.
   
  +
He used his Rasetsu powers even though he knew full well of the consequences. He mentioned to Koudou that the Rasetsu have no future and they cannot live a normal life because no matter how much the [http://hakuouki.wikia.com/wiki/Ochimizu Ochimizu] was improved, the shortening of one's life span and going crazy at the sight of blood cannot be cured. After killing off all the Rasetsu and having spent whatever remained of his life force, Sannan fades away alongside Heisuke who also suffered the same fate.
