==Shieikan==
==Shieikan==
+
Hijikata Toshizo was born in a wealthy farmer family in Tama district, [[Musashi province|Musashi]].
+
He practiced [[Kenjutsu]] in many dojo while he was working as a medicine peddler.
+
One day, Hijikata met [[Kondo Isami]] at [[Sato Hikogoro]]'s dojo and he became a pupil of [[Tennen Rishin Ryu]] in [[1851]] and was officially enrolled at the school in [[1859]].
+
His skill of the [[ryu-ha]] was just [[Mokuroku]], however his name
+
was listed on [[Bujutsu Eimei Roku]] which means he was known as
+
a swordmaster in those days.
+
In [[1863]], Hijikata and other [[Shieikan]] members joined [[Roshigumi]].
+
==Shinsengumi==
+
+
Kondo Isami and Hijikata Toshizo ruled the [[Shinsengumi]] completely after eliminating [[Serizawa Kamo]]'s Mito group.
−
==Shinsengumi==
+
''Kyokuchu Hatto''(The Shinsengumi Regulations) is believed to be Hijikata's idea.
+
Many of Shinsengumi members lost their lives because of the strict regulations.
+
During the [[Ikedaya Affair]], Hijikata's troop arrived at Ikedaya later than Kondo's troop.
+
Hijikata first secured around Ikedaya to not let Aizu and Kuwana han samurai in.
+
As the result, the Shinsengumi received all the fame and prizes.
==Boshin war==
==Boshin war==
+
Hijikata commanded the Shinsengumi at the [[Battle of Toba-Fushimi]] and the [[Battle of Yodo-Senryomatsu]](1868 January) instead of Kondo Isami, who was wounded at that time.
+
The Shinsengumi lost many members in those battles.
+
Then Hijikata realized "The age of swords is over."
+
+
When Kondo was captured at [[Nagareyama]], Hijikata went back to Edo, already occupied by the imperial army, to appeal to [[Katsu Kaishu]] for Kondo's life.
+
+
Hijikata then headed to Utsunomiya with several Shinsengumi members ([[Saito Hajime]] took most of the members to Aizu) , to join the [[Bakufu]] troops.
+
+
He injured his foot in April and was sent to Aizu. However he was unable to
+
come back to the front line until August.
+
Kondo's grave in Aizu was built during the time.
+

+
+
==Hakodate==
+
Hijikata and Bakufu troops occupied [[Goryokaku|Goryôkaku]] in October and [[Matsumae castle]] in November.
+
They announced the new "Republic of Ezo" ([[Enomoto Takeaki]] as the president) and Hijikata was appointed to be the ''[[Ezo]] Army [[Bugyo]] Nami''.
+
+
[[1869]] March, they attacked [[Battle of Miyako bay|Miyako bay]] to take over the battleship ''[[Kotetsu|Kôtetsu]]'', but failed.
+
+
In April, the Imperial troops started landing on Ezo.
+
Hijikata was guarding Futamataguchi, but had to
+
return Goryôkaku because the Imperial army was getting close to Goryôkaku.
+
+
1869/5/11, Hijikata took a small unit to save the Shinsengumi in ''Benten battery'' where they were surrounded by the the Imperial army.
+
Hijikata was shot at Ippongi.
+
His body is believed to be buried in [[Hekketsuhi]] or Ganjo-ji.
+
+
Two months after his death, his page [[Ichimura Tetsunosuke]] visited Sato Hikogoro's house and handed Hijikata's photograph, hair and death poem.
+
+
Hijikata's grave sites are
+
*Sekiden-ji (Hino city.Tokyo)

*Shomyo-ji (Hakodate city, Hokkaido)

*Itabashi, Tokyo
