Tsukioka Tsunan
Hair:
Black
Eyes:

Along with
Sano, Katsu was one of the youngest, if not the youngest,
members of the Seikihou Tai. He shares the same feelings
as that of Sano when comes to hating the Meiji Government,
but he hasn't tried to forget the past. When the Seikihou
Tai disbanded, Katsu moved to Tokyo and began a new life
as a painter, very different from what his speciality
is, handling gunpowder and ammunition, under the name
Tsukioka Tsunan. Katsu painted on color woodblock prints
and eventually became a very popular artist, painting
popular samurai of the past. When it was discovered by
Sanosuke that he had painted a picture of the Seikihou
Tai captain Souzou and himself and Sano as children, he
was visited by his old friend.
Katsu expressed
his plans, wanting to reform the Seikihou Tai to get revenge
on the government for ruining the group's name by bombing
important government buildings. In his closet was stored
hundreds of bombs ready for use. Sano, who prefers his
past over his present life, joined his friend Katsu, but
their plans were stopped before they even got off the
ground by Kenshin.
Although Kenshin
had tried to convince Katsu that what he was doing was
wrong, Katsu refused to listen to one who helped bring
up the Meiji Government. Instead, Katsu quit his occupation
as a painter and began to work on a newspaper that expressed
his hate for the government. The final masterpiece of
Tsukioka Tsunan was that of his master, the one who looked
up to, Sagara Souzou. In the meantime, Katsu stayed close
to Sanosuke, working as an accomplice for him. It was
Katsu who supplied Sano with the pineapple bombs that
he used to destroy Shishio Makoto's Rengoku.
