Hakuoki: Zuisouroku: Saito Hajime 05

According to the Drama CD’s, Saitou claims that he will take swords over women any day. In fact, he loves swords so much that he could talk about them for hours on end. In general, he is quite shy towards girls, but he always puts the safety of others above his own.

Hakuoki: Zuisouroku: Saito Hajime 04

At the end of Hakuoki ~Shinsengumi Kitan~ anime, Saito was last seen charging against the enemy while his comrades are all slain. History tells us that the real Saito survived even after Aizuwakamatsu Castle fell. He traveled southwest along with former Aizu retainers to the Takada Domain in Echigo Province, where they were held as prisoners of war.

Another awesome cosplay by Japanese cosplayer, Ikatarou! I must admit, I really love the way he depicted Saito. And the fact that he’s a guy adds a lot of points too. Thanks again to Milly for sending this in!

Hakuoki: Zuisouroku: Saito Hajime 02

Saito Hajime once left the Shinsengumi to apparently join Kashitarou Itou's group of Imperial National Guards. However, it was later revealed that he was under orders from Hijikata Toshizo to infiltrate and gather information regarding Itou’s plans. He successfully completes his mission and returns to the Shinsengumi after Itou’s assassination.

I don’t know what it is about this photo that’s so mesmerizing, but it’s a highly convincing cosplay of Saito! Thanks again to Michelle for sending this in!
