Speaking of haikus, Kanesada can recite off the top of his head the very last one Hijikata left.

“Though my body may decay on the island of Ezo, My spirit guards my lord in the east.”

Just like his owner, he is very fond of haiku, although he only likes reading as opposed to writing it.

And no matter what people say, he’ll always think Hijikata’s haikus are “the best!”
