Shimura Tae (志村 妙
Shimura Tae), or just
Otae (お妙) (the "お" (O) is an honorific used to refer to women), is the older sister of
Shimura Shinpachi. The
Shinsengumi have almost accepted her as the de facto lady boss, or rather the consort of their boss
Kondou Isao, by calling her
ne-e-san (姐さん).
She works at Snack Smile
as a cabaret hostess to keep the family doujo Koudoukan going (though
more often than not, she behaves more like a bouncer). In addition she
is the leader and one of the original members of the Diamond Perfume.
