History
"I shall never forget that man... Sagara Sozo... I have never seen such speed, such grace using the sword. He cannot be defeated in Kenjutsu."

- Sha Wen, describing Sagara Sozo's abilities in Kenjutsu

Captain Sagara Sozo is a rare Ninja, since he has no abilities in Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, or regular Taijutsu. His only abilities are Kenjutsu and Kenpo (a special version of Taijutsu). Because of this, many of his opponents underestimates him, which led to their death. Sagara is not only a master of the Kenjutsu arts, he is also the founder of the Tao clan's Kenjutsu. Except the founder of the Tao clan's Kenjutsu, he was also the founder and leader of Hitogumi, a group containing the strongest of the Hitokiri. He raised the members of the Hitogumi from very early age and taught them in the arts of combat. However, at the end of the war, he disappeared, leaving the Hitogumi to choose their own path. Osore choosed to search for Sagara, while most of the group decided to join another faction; The Yan Yuuno. He has only been seen once so far, in episode 262 of the second series. Osore, the member of the Hitogumi who searched for (and obviously found) Captain Sagara after his disappearance, is seen killing two unidentified Ninjas. Captain Sagara then appeared, and told Osore to find the other Hitokiri. Osore followed his master's command and disappeared in a cloud of fire. Shortly afterwards, Sagara was sorrounded by at least 30 enemy Ninjas. Sagara barely pulled out his sword from its scabbard before all Ninjas were killed, as a result of his extreme speed.

Appearance
Sagara Sozo has existed in Japan, and was used by Nobuhiro Watsuki in the manga and anime Rurouni Kenshin. He appears as tall, with black hair, covering his right eye. He has a red headband without a forehead protector, since he didn't want to show that he was a member of the Hitogumi. He is often dressed in a dark blue clothing, and a red coat. Sagara's armament contains two visible swords, but he can also summon three other swords; Sagara No Raiken, Sagara No Tsuchiken, and Sagara No Tenken. Nobuhiro Watsuki gave the comment about Captain Sagara that he is popular "in the eyes (and hearts) of female readers."



Quotes
"There is no shame if you fail. There is shame if you do not try again."

"I fear I might have been influencing all around me. And not for the better."

"Perhaps it was not the correct thing to do; to disappear without saying anything. But I had a reason, it would be harder for me disappear if I had said anything."
