Right now, I'm just like that little ring thingy on the shower!! Whatever curtain is put on me, It's always “Shah”s to the left or the right!! Shah-ing between the dojo and loft, Shah-ing between life and death! I’m doomed to keep Shah-ing until I die! I’ll be just like those Shah-rails! I’m just a great big shah!! But there's shah thing I can do! I’m a Shah!

Ayumu Toujou

Toujou Ayumu (東城 歩) is the leader of the 四天王 Shitennou aka 4 Devas, the dojo guardians of the Yagyuu Family. Tojou is Kyubei's servant, who is extremely dedicated, if not obsessive, in his concern for his young master.

Background

Toujou Ayumu has studied in the Yagyuu dojou in his childhood, he witness Kyuubei crying in front of her father when she says shes a girl and the pressure of being a boy is hard.

Appearance

• Height = 178cm (5'10")
• Weight = 66kg

His eyes are normally slinted closed unless he is surprised or under emotional distress. If his eyes do open, the whites of his eyes are actually black, and his pupils either glow with an unearthly green, blue or red. He's hair is Light Beige and shoulder length .

Personality

He generally speaks in a very polite manner, he uses the more formal watashi ('私')　instead of boku, ('僕') instead of the short dictionary forms usually employed in a normal male-speech.

Extremely particular about the freshness of the raw eggs he gets for his tamagokakegohan breakfast, flies into a rage if the egg yolk breaks, indicating that it is not fresh.

He is loyal to the Yagyuu house and he can be merciless in his mission to protect the Yagyuu reputation, discarded Minamoto from the team without hesitation by breaking his dish personally during the dojo challenge in ep.77, saying that leaving him on the team can only smear the Yagyuu reputation (since Minamito did not fight to retain the dish but rather escaped because Kagura and Okita were feuding, leaving Nishino to deal with them)

He has a fetish for Gothic Lolita costumes which he keeps trying to get Kyuubei to put on, even though Kyuubei shows openly strong dislike of him fussing, and of his myriad attempts to get her to put on the Gothic Lolita costumes

Strength & Abilities

Supposedly the most highly skilled of the 4 Devas, has yet to display much of his skills so far, although there was an inconclusive short duel with Kondou Isao in the toilet. In Episode 81 Kyuubei said to Hijikata Toushirou before they duel that Toujou is the most highly skilled amongst the 4 Devas, and that the other 3 can't even compare to him.

Relationships

• Yagyuu Kyuubei: Toujou is a paranoid attendant of Yagyuu Kyuubei, fusses over Kyuubei obsessively because he says she is so cute (ep.77), he addresses her as 若 waka, a very formal form of address normally used for the young son of someone of high social standing. During the 'Toilet Battle' episode he was seen carrying a photo of Yagyuu Kyuubei with him while inside the toilet cubicle. He has for years kept a diary recording Kyubei's activities.
• Sakata Gintoki: Whenever Toujou needs help regarding about Kyuubei, he would go to Yorozuya and begs for help.
