personality:
Shishio is the leader the Juppon Gatana. He is extremely evil and also insane, which even Shishio himself admits. Shishio hates all weaknesses and lives by the motto, 'The strong will live, the weak will die'. His philosophy is therefore similar to Darwinism only much more extreme, in that he is actively trying to eliminate all that he considers weak. Shishio is very confident in his abilities and believes that he is the strongest fighter that has ever lived. He is hellbent on taking over Japan so that he can reform the government system so that only the strongest will survive and the weak will become his 'prey'. Shishio is malicious in that he is basically using all of his followers to simply make himself stronger and to weaken his enemies. In fact the only person that Shishio cares about other than himself is his devoted lover, Yumi Komagata. The two share a romantic relationship that only they understand. Fighting and winning is everything to Shishio so he is more than willing to take on Kenshin, whom he knows is the only obstacle in the way of his plans. Shishio, like quite a few people in the RK story hates the Meiji Government since he believes it supports the weak too much and also because of what happened to him after the Restoration was over (see past).
past:
After Kenshin decided to come out into the open as the 'Hitokiri Battousai' during the Meiji Restoration, Shishio was the one who took over his position as the Inshin Shishi's shadow assassin. Unlike Kenshin however Shishio merely took the job because he wanted to show the Inshin Shishi how strong he was, and he carried out many key assassinations for them. After the Restorartion ended the Inshin Shishi became nervous that Shishio might expose their roles in certain assassinations. And so they tried to get rid of him by shooting him many times and then setting his body on fire. However Shishio somehow managed to stay alive. While everyone thought he was dead, he secretly assembled a gigantic fighting force in addition to creating the Juppon Gatana to help him take over Japan and have his revenge on the Meiji government for betraying him.
