Talk:Soma Kazue

Soma Tonomo AKA Soma Kazue?

Is Soma Tonomo also known as Soma Kazue? Tonomo's other names were listed as: 主計 (Kazue?) and 肇 (Hajime?) - what are the correct name readings? --Kitsuno 15:11, 30 December 2006 (PST)

Yes, Soma Tonomo is Soma Kazue. He changed the name when the Shinsengumi surrendered in Hakodate. 肇 (Hajime) is also his name but I don't know when he used the name.--Shikisoku 20:55, 4 January 2007 (PST)

Soma Kazue should be the first. Tonomo is not used commonly.--Shikisoku 00:35, 5 January 2007 (PST)

"he and Nomura Risaburô accompanied as valets and were imprisoned." - does this just mean that they were allowed to accompany Kondo before his execution? Why would they be realeased after this? --Kitsuno 23:07, 13 January 2007 (PST)

I made mistake. Soma was not the valet.--Shikisoku 23:20, 13 January 2007 (PST)

They were going to be executed. But they were spared the lives for some reason. Soma was sent to Kasama han residence. Nomura was sent to a Hatamoto's house. It's not clear how they managed to escape.--Shikisoku 23:35, 13 January 2007 (PST)

How about Risaburo? Did he accompany Kondo? His bio is the same. Although, I don't think "valet" is the right word. --Kitsuno 23:58, 13 January 2007 (PST)
