Ibuki Ryuunosuke, 16. Was found by Serizawa in the woods near Kyoto. Serizawa brought him back to the Shinsengumi Compound to be taken care of after Ibuki showed a desire to live. He now serves under him as a servant to pay him back for it, though he doesn't really like it. Serizawa hits him and calls him "Mutt" often. 

Ibuki ran away from Edo to make a life for himself but he's run into a lot of bad luck, including getting his money stolen and beaten up. He's made friends with some of the Shinsengumi members. But he has the tendency to be stubborn, loud, stupid, and pathetic, having no faith in his own abilities and no desire to be a warrior at all despite carrying a sword. He can become a scardy cat and run or freeze when there's a serious threat of death. He acts tough only because of the position he's in. 

Voice Example: Urameshi Yusuke from Yu Yu Hakusho, but more youthful.
