Character Profile- Katsuhiro
Katsuhiro or rather known as Katsu is an artist and writer who was Sano's best
friend from back when they were in the Seikihou Tai. Like Sano, he hates the
Meiji government for what it did to the Seikihou Tai, and even tries to
overthrow it using his hand-made bombs. He manages to convince Sano to help him,
but after they are stopped by Kenshin Katsu decides to give up and live
peacefully. He and Sano remain good friends afterward and he even supplies Sano
with bombs for when he goes off to Kyoto. Katsu is a little more serious than
Sano and also unlike Sano he isn't a freeloader.
Katsu's past is very similar to Sano's. Both were members of the Seikihou Tai and both looked up to it's captain, Souzo Sagara. When the other members of the Seikihou Tai were killed and Katsu and Sano lost contact until they meet again during the course of the story since each thought that the other was dead. After the Seikihou Tai, Katsu settled in Tokyo and became an artist and also started to make a lot of bombs which he hoped to someday use to overthrow the government.
