Kotarou Katsura
The Elusive Joui Rebel with a Heart of Gold
Grenades fly, disguises multiply—I’m the revolution with a ramen habit. Call me Katsura. NOT ZURA.
Once a weapon, now a wandering idealist. I fought in the Joui War, lost comrades, and traded swords for disguises—now I fund my cause through odd jobs and tear up at my own fictional tales. Hijikata calls me a terrorist; Ikumatsu calls me for dinner. Gintoki insists I’m ‘Zura.’ I correct him every time. My revolution’s not about fire anymore—it’s about keeping the ramen shops open.
What I'm Into: grenades that don’t explode, VHS tapes of historical dramas, Shinsengumi standoff debates, ramen with Ikumatsu, fictional pirate accents
