Age: 19 AKA: Zanza, rooster head, chicken brain Fighting Technique: Level Limits About Sano: Sanosuke (Sano for short) is the eldest son of a farmer in Shinsu but left his family to join his friend and idol, Souzou Sagara. There he was raised by Souzou Sagara, leader of the Sekihoutai. Sekihoutai was working for the Meiji. One of their missions was to evangelize the promises if the new era was to be born. However when the war was about to end, Meiji officials thought that they could not fulfill their promises and for them not to lose the support of the people of Japan, they accused Sekihoutai for lying at the people of Japan and had them assasinated by the Ishinshishi. Sano would always follow Souzou wherever he would go. Sagara isn't his real name but added it because he looks at Souzou as his family. When he heard about the rumor of Kenshin's presence in Kyoto, he challenged Kenshin for a duel. He was angry at Kenshin because he was a member of the Ishinshishi but later found out that Kenshin was just like Souzou, a fighter who wanted to protect others, the stopped being a gangster and made friends with Kenshin (and stayed at the Kamiya dojo). He loves fighting and is also an ex-gangster. He used to have a zanbatou (horse-cutting sword) until Kenshin cut it in half . Since then he quit using weapons and relied on his hand-to-hand fighting skills. He thought that he was good enough in hand-to-hand combat until he met Saitoh. He hates the guy a lot. His pride is the Futae no Kiwami ( double limit ) which he learned from Anji while training to defeat Saitoh, I mean training to be stronger.

Level Limits:

Name Description Futae no Kiwami (Double Level Limit) This is a very very powerful punch. The first objective is to hit an object with the middle knuckles of your hand, breaking down it's natural defense and reducing the resistance. The second thing is to hit the object again within milliseconds with your main knuckles to destroy the object totally. Sanjuu no Kiwami (Triple Level Limit) The Sanjuu no Kiwami was devised by Sanosuke during his fight with Anji. The two performed the Futae no Kiwami and connected with each others fist at the same moment, thus the force from both punches was stuck in the middle. To win the match, Sanosuke opened up his hand forcing the power of his Futae no Kiwami, and Anji's Futae no Kiwami, back upon Anji.
