Okita Sôji was born the son of a lower Shirakawa han Samurai. He was raised by his oldest sister Mitsu and her husband after his father died. When he was around 10, he became a pupil of Kondo Shusuke's Shieikan, the Tennen Rishin Ryu dojo. When Sôji was just 12, he defeated a Shirakawa han Kenjutsu teacher. Sôji became a head instructor of the Shieikan when he was around 19.

Shinsengumi

Sôji was involved in the assassination of Tonouchi Yoshio and Serizawa Kamo.

During the Ikedaya Affair, he was one of four Shinsengumi members who raided the inside of the Ikedaya. During the 2 hour battle, Sôji fought on the 2nd floor almost alone but fell down unconscious because of either Anemia or heat. (Recent research indicates that this was not a symptom of tuberculosis) Many people who witnessed the Shinsengumi in action described Sôji as one of the best Swordman in the Shinsengumi. On the other hand, Yagi Tamesaburo told Shimozawa Kan in early Showa period "Soji was always joking" and, "He used to play with neighboring children."

Tuberculosis

Soji became seriously ill in fall of 1867. He stayed at Osaka castle with the wounded Kondo Isami during the Battle of Toba-Fushimi in January 1868. In March, he visited Sato Hikogoro in Hino as a member of the Koyo Chinbutai but had to return to Edo because of his illness. He died 2 months after Kondo's death. His grave is in Keisho-ji, Tokyo.
