Sakamoto Ryoma

has an attraction to his friend Okita Soji, although he himself does not understand it.

Serious, stoic. Expresses love more secretly than others, not showing it in public. Love through touch or words that have a hidden meaning or hint. Not fierce in intimacy. Can be jealous, but secretly. Not vulgar and does not like open flirting.

According to the Yakuza game's plot, Sakamoto Ryoma and Okita Soji have a different relationship: Okita distrusts Sakamoto and often spies on him, while Sakamoto suspects Okita may have ulterior motives. However, another perspective exists: one of the stories suggests a strong connection between the characters from the very beginning, with Sakamoto feeling an inexplicable magnetism toward Okita.
