Tae Sekihara

Sekihara Tae is the 20something manager of the beef hot pot gynabe or sukiyaki restaurant the Akabeko. She has a twin sister named Sae managing in a similar restaurant called the Shirbeko in Kyoto. Sanosuke also owes her a seemingly large sum of money in which interest is accounted for. In the anime and a bit in the manga she has also tried to push the relationship between Kenshin and Kaoru since it seemed it to her that it was not working.
