Takeda Kanryusai joined the Shinsengumi in 1863. In 1864, He captured Furutaka Shuntaro which led to the Ikedaya Affair.
Kondo Isami treated particularly well because he was an expert of Koshu Ryu Gungaku (the Takeda clan's military science). However, Kanryûsai was disliked by other members and perceived as a flatterer.
Later, the Shinsengumi adopted a more Western military style and Koshu Ryu Gungaku was no longer needed.
He lost his position in the Shinsengumi and contacted Satsuma, which was discovered by Hijikata Toshizo. In 1867, his request of leaving the Shinsengumi was admitted and Kondo Isami held farewell party for him. After the party, Takeda was assassinated by Saito Hajime(?) on the way to the Satsuma han residence. Takeda's comrade Katô Higuma was later ordered to commit Seppuku.
