Sugimoto Saichi

Personality:   Appearance Sugimoto is a muscular Japanese man with brown eyes and spiky brown hair which is usually covered by a military cap. His most prominent feature must be his facial scars: two of them are parallel and run vertically down his cheeks, while the third one strays horizontally like a tree branch. Sugimoto's whole body is also covered with deep scars and injuries that he received in battle. His countenance is typically serious and mature. Year round, Sugimoto wears an olive-colored kimono with the sleeves tied up by a tasuki sash and the back hem tucked in shirihashori style over a mandarin collar shirt. He also wears military trousers and high boots that were part of his uniform during the Russo-Japanese War. However, the boots he is wearing were stripped from the officer he nearly beat to death.[3] In colder weather, he also wears a dark blue trench coat and a foreign-made scarf that he bought in Otaru.[4] Following the events of the Abashiri Prison invasion, Sugimoto wore a metal plate that covered his head injury inflicted by Ogata. He would also wear a leg brace on his left leg after Nikaidou injured him in Abashiri; he stops wearing it after returning back to Hokkaido. Personality Sugimoto is a kind and valorous man. Despite seeming gruff on the outside he is a sympathetic person who cares a lot about his friends and loved ones. As his father would say, Sugimoto is someone who "always ends up stuck with the worst roles", meaning that he would put his life on the line to help others.[5] His dedication to his first love Umeko and the promise he gave to his late best friend Toraji are the driving forces that lead him to search for the gold in the first place. Later, he would often selflessly endanger himself to protect Asirpa. Even though he often gets into fights, Sugimoto forgives others quickly and will help even those who have wronged him before. After being shunned in his village, Sugimoto knows firsthand what it's like to be looked down upon. As such, he cuts short any attempts to humiliate another one by using unfair offensive terms.
