Bakufu Loyalist forces came to number about 10,000. They were opposed by pro-Imperial forces of about 3500 which were advancing upon Fushimi from the north. Most of these troops were from Satsuma, but contingents from [[Tosa han|Tosa]] and [[Choshu han|Choshu]] were also present.

The battle started at near Koeda bridge, Toba.
Satsuma's units fired at the Bakufu troops but the Bakufu side didn't expect battle.
The Bakufu's commander believed that Satsuma would yield the way if they saw the 10000 troops.
