== Personality ==
Itou is subtle, but treacherous. He knows how to employ flattery, and uses it to gain Kondou's trust. However, he also uses this skill to offer backhanded compliments, especially to Sannan, in order to undermine his colleagues. A renowned intellectual, Itou tends to think of himself as more educated and cultured than the rest of the Shinsengumi's officers. However, he rarely brags about his own accomplishments, preferring to put others down by comparison instead.
