A Touken Ranbu character. One of the Awataguchi school swords and thus is one of the many "Toushirou" brothers.
Has a thing for sweets and married women. Having been owned by Tokugawa Ieyasu, his liking for married women is a reference to Ieyasu's reputation as a womanizer. In fandom, this very quickly snowballed into Houchou either being the only skirt chaser of the citadel, openly lusting after particularly effeminate-looking or wife-like swords (such as Horikawa Kunihiro) if there is an absence of a female saniwa or women in general, or indulging in netorare. After a while a lot of fanworks just portrayed him as a needy kid, with the implication that he goes after married women then being due to the fact that they're more likely to give him candy.
