He eventually grew up cynical towards human relations, hiding his own loneliness underneath a show of competence and strength.

Although in many years after he is sought by Kondo Isao to join him during his long journey in forming Shinsengumi with Kondo and his friends, Itou is treated by them as a normal person and a friend, and feels happy to considered them as a family to him, in which later during a Shinsengumi rebellion that Itou didn't realized it until he remembered his time with his Shinsengumi friends.
