Hachiro Iba is one of three new characters introduced in Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds, the first half of a two-part remake of Hakuoki for PS Vita. He’s a childhood friend of a number of the Shinsengumi captains, a skilled swordsman, and a member of the Shogun’s personal guard.
Iba’s route is incredibly cute. Getting his true ending can be a bit tricky, but this guide should hopefully help you out.
