==Mito==
The Serizawa family were [[Goshi|Gôshi]] of Seizawa village in [[Hitachi province]].
Serizawa Mitsumoto was adopted into the Shimomura family and his name was changed to Shimomura Tsuguji.
Tsuguji was jailed for involvement in the [[Tamatsukurigumi]] which was a [[Sonno|Sonnô]] [[Joi|Jôi]] group in [[Mito han]], however he was released in [[1862]] and then he changed his name to Serizawa Kamo.
==Mibu Rôshigumi==
Serizawa joined the [[Roshigumi|Rôshigumi]] in [[Edo]] in [[1864]] and moved to [[Kyoto]].
He and [[Kondo Isami|Kondô Isami]] protested against [[Kiyokawa Hachiro|Kiyokawa Hachirô]] and decided to stay in Kyoto.
The 24 [[Ronin]] who stayed in Kyoto called themselves the [[Mibu Roshigumi|Mibu Rôshigumi]] and they were employed by [[Aizu han]].
However, Serizawa's violent acts became a big problem in Kyoto, so Aizu han secretly ordered Kondo to assassinate Serizawa.
In [[1863]], [[Hijikata Toshizo|Hijikata Toshizô]], [[Okita Soji|Okita Sôji]], [[Harada Sanosuke]], and [[Yamanami Keisuke]] stormed into [[Yagi Gennojo|Yagi Gennojô's]] house and killed Serizawa and [[Hirayama Goro|Hirayama Gorô]]. (There are alternative theories regarding the people involved in Serizawa's assassination.) Their graves are in [[Mibu temple]] Kyoto.
