Personality
Seishiro is a stoic and intelligent hero, but he can often drawing himself into duels that interest him rather than the ones he's assigned to do. He is a man of few words, and has a habit of sleeping while standing much to the annoyance of those who try to converse with him. Able to anticipate those around him, he is typically out of sync with his surroundings, always expressing an unbiased opinion. This makes him somewhat rude and exceedingly arrogant at first glance. However, he is wise beyond his years and his words often carry some sort of advice to others. His actions exasperate his partner, Jin-Emon, as he tries to act and work alone.
