Seta Sōjirō

Sōjirō Seta (瀬田せた 宗そう次じ郎ろう, Seta Sōjirō) was the fastest member of the Juppongatana. He was the apprentice of Shishio Makoto and the most skilled swordsman among his crew. He was usually seen by Shishio's side. When not with Shishio, he was off on missions such as assassinations or gathering the other Juppongatana. His nickname was "Sōjirō the Tenken." He believes in Shishio's philosophy that only the fittest survive. "If you're strong, you live; if you're weak, you die." His favorite sword was the Kikuichimonji-norimune, which was cracked by Kenshin's Sakabatō during a contest of Battōjutsu. He is the one responsible for the assassination of Ōkubo Toshimichi.
