Overview

Shinpachi Nagakura (永倉 新八, Nagakura Shinpachi) is a master swordsman in the Shinsengumi and a member of Hijikata's Group.

Appearance[]

Nagakura is a bald elderly man with wrinkles and a full beard. In his youth, Nagakura had a full head of dark hair that was parted to the sides with a small beard. He also had no wrinkles on his face.

Personality[]

According to Hijikata, Nagakura in his youth was a violent-tempered fool and he had a very reckless behavior, which led to him receiving a nickname "Gamushin".

As a member of the Shinsengumi, Nagakura did not get along well with his superior Isami Kondou due to his playboy nature. As a result, Nagakura disliked Kondou and refused to be one of his personal retainers when given the offer by him. However, he felt much respect and gratitude for Toshizou Hijikata due to the fact that he defended him from Kondou's wrath numerous times.

Abilities[]

  • Swordsmanship: Nagakura was hailed as the best swordsman in the Shinsengumi. His knowledge of the art allows him to be a teacher at Kabato Prison where he taught the guards there and continues to hold training sessions every year.
