Satô Hikogorô was the village leader of Hino-juku ([[Musashi province]]), and [[Hijikata Toshizo|Hijikata Toshizo's]] brother in law.
He maintained a dojo at his home for practicing the [[Tennen Rishin Ryu|Tennen Rishin-ryû]]. [[Kondo Isami]] and [[Okita Soji]] came to teach pupils in the region often.
During the [[Boshin War]], he formed a farmers' troop called [[Kasugatai]] and fought in the [[Battle of Koshu-Katsunuma]] with the [[Koyo Chinbutai]]. However, they were defeated, so he had to hide himself from the pro-Emperor troops for a while.
Satô's support for the [[Shinsengumi]] never changed. After the [[Meiji Restoration]], he and [[Kojima Shikanosuke]] made an effort for the honorary recovery of the Shinsengumi.
In [[1888]], A memorial monument of Kondo Isami and Hijikata Toshizo, called "Junsetsu Ryoyu Hi," was erected in the Takahata Kongo-ji temple.
