Hailing from Mibu, Saitou is a deadly, skilled samurai. His rank as the captain of the third division of the Shinsen Gumi proves it. The philosophy of Saitou and the rest of the Shinsen Gumi go by Aku, Soku, Zan, meaning to kill evil immediately, or somewhere along those terms. His theory is also shared with that of the Battousai, Kenshin Himura.
During the Bakumatsu, Saitou had many battles, but his toughest ones were against Kenshin. Their battle during the end of the period was not completed and never was. When the Shinsen Gumi disbanded and the Tokugawa Government fell, Saitou quickly took on the job as an undercover policeman and changed his name to Goro Fujita.
One case Saitou had received was to determine Kenshin's power in order to see if he could be worthy enough to take on Makoto Shishio. Using his keen tactics, Saitou had set up a plan to get him another battle with Kenshin, but that battle ended in a draw as well. Never again did they battle because for the majority of the time, Saitou was forced to team up with his arch-enemy.
Saitou is most likely the only Shinsen Gumi captain alive in the current time. The others nine were either killed or died from an illness. He is best known for being a vicious wolf, always attacking no matter how hurt he is. Plain Soba is one of his favorite dishes and sake aggravates his will to kill. Saitou prefers to use his Gatotsu attacks in battle. Although repetitive, the attacks hold much strength, depending how well Saitou's legs are. He assisted a lot to bring down Shishio by having many bits of information and learned of Enishi's hideaway island by slaving Chou, his new underling because of the Juppon Gatana's disbandment. It's a little known fact, but Saitou is in fact married to a woman named Tokio.
Kenshin had offered Saitou to conclude their battle once and for all, once Enishi was dealt with. However, Saitou declined the offer because the man he wanted to fight was Battousai, not Kenshin Himura. Later, he disappeared from his Kenshin's sight once and for all by transferring to Hokkaido.
