Soshi Okita VI (六代目 沖田 総司 ,Rokudaime Okita Sōshi) is a character in the Yaiba manga who appears also in Detective Conan manga and anime. He is the historical Okita Sōji's grandson.

Yaiba

Soshi Okita has a very laid back attitude and is a participant in the Oda Nobunaga tournament. He made a promise with his grandfather that he would quit practicing kendo if he won the tournament. He disliked kendo because he found it too easy. He encounters Yaiba in the fourth round when Yaiba trips over him while he is sleeping in the grass. When the two fought, it was clear that Soshi was the better fighter. Yaiba refused to give up and his determination eventually led Soshi to forfeit the match. Soshi then decides that he will continue to practice kendo.
