#yoichiro the manslayer

[talesofedo]

This is completely random, but I recently started (re-) watching the Golden Kamuy anime on Anix. I've previously watched the first two seasons (which I have on DVD) but I hadn't seen seasons 3 and 4 yet; I guess I kind of forgot about them existing.

Anyway, in season 3, Hijikata Toshizo's group travels to a small fishing village where they encounter an old man with dementia, Doi Shinzo (土井新蔵), who turns out to have been "Yoichiro the Manslayer" in his youth.

Noda Satoru, the mangaka of Golden Kamuy, said that he based Yoichiro's character on Okada Izo, but I guess I never put two-and-two together while reading the manga. (I'll also admit it's been a pretty long time since I read that chapter and it was definitely before Izo started living in my head rent free.)

Noda named the character Doi Shinzo when the real Okada Izo used Doi Tetsuzo (土井鉄蔵) as his alias while he was in hiding. In the anime, he's even using the sword with the dragon tsuba Izo was supposed to have carried. But Yoichiro's character kills more people in the 3 minutes we see him in Golden Kamuy than Izo killed the entire time he carried out assassinations for Takechi Hanpeita (who also has a brief cameo in Yoichiro's arc in Golden Kamuy).
