Aoshi Shinomori
|

also known as: Ice Blue Eyes
birthday: Jan. 1853
blood type: A
height: 182 cm
weight: 72kg
fighting style: Kodachi Nitou-Ryu
weapon: Two Kodachi (which are short swords)
personality:
Aoshi is the leader of the Oniwaban-shu. He is very serious, in fact he never smiles and often acts like he has no emotions at all. He allied himself with a greedy businessman named Kanryuu Takeda and helped him hold Megumi Takani captive, forcing her to make opium until she was rescued by the Kenshin-gumi. After being defeated by Kenshin and witnessing the deaths of his loyal men, Hanya, Beshimi, Hyotoko and Shikijo at the hands of Kanryuu, Aoshi goes on a quest for strength in order to someday defeat Kenshin. Aoshi wants to become the greatest fighter in history as a testament to his late men who were killed by Kanryuu and to prove that the Oniwaban-shu are the most powerful ninja group ever. He is also more than willing to go to whatever lengths necessary to achieve his goal. This is why he is so intent on defeating Kenshin. He even leaves the Oniwaban-shu for a period of time and allies himself with Makoto Shishio in order to have a chance to fight him again. All in all, Aoshi is a very misguided individual, but he is not actually evil and he proves himself to be a useful fighter in the end. Despite himself, he has a soft spot for Misao Makimachi, who he helped raise along the rest of the Oniwaban-shu.
past:
Aoshi has been the head of the Oniwaban-shu since he was 15 yrs. old, when he was recommended by Okina. However, neither he or the rest of the Oniwaban-shu had a chance to fight in the Meiji Restoration.
