Weapons/Fighting Style: Isamu is a master swordsman of the two sword fighting method, but he is well versed in single sword and bo staff styles. To have full access to his variety of combat knowledge he had a unique weapon made for him. It combines two swords that are slightly under three feet of blade and about one food of handle and a bo staff. The bo staff is used as the sheath for the swords and is made completely out of steel, allowing him to use it against swords without fear of it being slashed. The bo staff itself is brown and just under six feet, so that the swords stored inside it are just touching points. When he is traveling it passes as just a large monk's staff to most people.
The blades are very basic, they are made of simple steel and the handles are brown with no guard on them. The ends are an abrupt stop and when they slide into the staff they are locked in place so that they won't fall out when he the weapon as a bo staff. The blades are inserted on opposite sides of the bo staff so that their points are just touching inside it.
He fights by using the staff to keep enemies away, and if they prove that he needs more power he draws the two swords form the ends of the staff. He is most powerful when he uses two swords, but is very good at a single sword style also. So good in fact that he is teaching the commander of the New Shinsengumi swordsmanship as part of his job. His bo staff comes in last in terms of his skill, but he is still formidable enough with it that he can beat common thieves and the such.
