Hajime is stoic, quiet, polite, cold. he speaks it in a formal emotionless way, never shouting or getting angry. He is extremely loyal to Toshizou Hijikata and he will obey any order without question. He is very thoughtful and always puts the safety of others above his own and never lets on about what he is truly thinking or feeling. he himself does not understand other people's emotions (and his own) well, and although he can talk for hours about swords and their history. Comical emotionless.
