Editing Housen

Eight years before the present, a woman became pregnant in Yoshiwara. As per Yoshiwara law, this would mean death for both the child and the mother, so a group of women decided to protect her and prevent this from happening. Hinowa, now a grown woman, was one of them. The pregnant woman died giving birth to the child, but when the ones protecting them tried to run away and escape with the child, Housen came after them. With the Hyakka, he caught them on a bridge, but Hinowa came prepared to give her life, so she took one of the Hyakka's spears and pointed it at her neck. Housen then threatened that he knew they had hid the child under the bridge with another caretaker, and would not oversee this if she committed suicide. Hinowa then gave in, and both she and the child who would later be known as [[Seita]] survived.

Housen ruled Yoshiwara with an iron fist. With the Yato blood running through his veins, he was just as bloodthirsty and battle-hungry as any other Yato.  He enjoyed sake and seemed to have an incredibly high tolerance for it; it is impiled that as a Yato he posses an insatiable appetite, lust and immense self-control. He was known to be quite lustful, having slept with many women (with his "well-endowed" bazooka as said by Gintoki). He possessed endless willpower and will to live, as he spent decades on Yoshiwara without getting bored; living day by day he could have gone on like this for life, but he was still capable of quickly reverting to his bloodthirsty self.  He always kept [[Hinowa]] close to him, and it seems he needed her moreso as a woman than as an object, keeping her alive and even cutting the tendons at the back of her feet to ensure she would not be able to escape. He possessed immense authoritative charisma and eloquence. In the end, all he truly wanted was to rest under the sun, showing a rather kind, gentle and peaceful charismatic side to him.

As an elite Yato, Hosen possessed superhuman traits; force, strength, speed, lightning-fast reflexes, flexibility, agility, dexterity, auto-reflexes, coordination, self-control, adaptability, muscle control, durability, invulnerability, immunity, vitality, virility, endurance, aura, senses, awareness, accuracy, precision, willpower, pain-tolerance, fear-tolerance, bravery, comprehension, genius-intellect, limitless learning and memorization capabilities, leadership skills, management skills, analytical skills, instant mental computational skills, economical and political skills, eloquence, charisma, handsomeness, attractiveness, pheromones, "well-endowment", will to live, instincts, flawless smooth skin, tactical analysis, perception, intuition, judgement, youthful longevity, and regenerative healing capacity. Like all male Yato males he was capable of many impressive feats, such as easily intercepting and catching bullets or kunai with his hands and teeth, eating and drinking anything, had the ability to live without feeling guilt or regret, live completely free of mental or spiritual exhaustion, all of these which far exceeded that of humans, amantos and even that of his fellow Yato, he was one of the most powerful individuals in the Galaxy. As with the other members of the clan, his main weapon is an umbrella, in this case, he wielded a large, black umbrella when fighting, but a smaller, red one in his flashback against Umibouzu. He can use both perfectly with only one hand. Gintoki mentions that he has a monstrous strength, easily shattering the rest of Gintoki's katana with his palm or destroying a massive stone column. As King of the Night, and a former Captain of the Harusame, he possessed exceptional leadership and tactical skills. His exceptional skills as a ruler are explained when Tsukuyo admitted that under Housen's rule Yoshiwara was open (except for the ceiling) and flexible, with few but relatively reasonable rules, Yoshiwara had plenty of business competition, and power struggles, but no one dared to break Housen's rules and cross certain lines so there was virtually no crime. He was capable of easily amassing all the wealth and power he wanted whenever he wanted. He possessed immense authoritative charisma and eloquence, persuading and manipulating anyone and anything into being submissive, obedient, and loyal to him, by his presence and aura alone. Hinowa pointed out that in the end all he wanted was to rest peacefully under the sun, showing that he also had strong, gentle, peaceful, trusting, kind, charisma and aura as well.
