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.

Ran asks Momiji where she can find Okita when he suddenly appears and Ran drags him off to talk to him. Sonoko believes that she is cheating on Shinichi, so she snaps a picture and mails it to Shinichi. He sees it and he is angered, trying to decipher why Ran is talking to him and what their expressions mean. Later on, it is revealed that she actually took Okita aside to give him back his talisman he had dropped during the kendo tournament murder case. She apologised to Okita because she and Kogoro unwittingly opened the talisman, and found a piece of wood and a picture showing Moroha Kurogane, Okita's secret love and a skilled high school kendo practitioner as well. Okita says Moroha is actually his rival Yaiba Kurogane's little sister, and he will date Moroha as soon as he defeats Yaiba at kendo. Okita accepts Ran's excuse but just asks her not to tell a word of this to Momiji, probably because he loves her as well.
