The [[Shinsengumi]] returned to [[Edo]] after the [[Battle of Toba-Fushimi]].
The [[Shinsengumi]] returned to [[Edo]] after the [[Battle of Toba-Fushimi]].
[[Kondo Isami]], the commander of Shinsengumi, visited [[Katsu Kaishu]] in [[Edo castle]], where he received the order to take over [[Kofu castle]] to block the Imperial troops.
[[Kondo Isami|Kondô Isami]], the commander of Shinsengumi, visited [[Katsu Kaishu|Katsu Kaishû]] in [[Edo castle]], where he asked to go to [[Kofu castle|Kôfu castle]] to meet the Imperial troops.<ref>Kondô told Katsu that he had known a person in the imperial troops who would accept his request, according to "Kainanroku"解難録</ref> Katsu had no idea that the Shinsengumi would try to block off the imperial troops. But Kondô's real intention was taking over the castle.
Kondô recruited new members and reformed the Shinsengumi as the [[Koyo Chinbutai|Kôyô Chinbutai]].
On 3/1, The Kôyô Chinbutai took Kôshu avenue to Katsunuma.
They were welcomed in the towns on the way because the region was
home of the main Shinsengumi members including Kondô (who was using the alias ''Okubo Tsuyoshi''), [[Hijikata Toshizo|Hijikata]] (who was using the alias ''Naito Hayato'').

The welcome parties slowed them down considerably. As the result, Kôfu castle was occupied by the Imperial troops before they arrived. Almost half of the Kôyô Chinbutai members deserted before arriving at Katsunuma.
They were defeated within 2 hours.
Right before the battle, Hijikata alone went back to Hachiôji to ask Nappatai, which was the unit formed by [[Hatamoto]] for support. But the Nappatai ignored the request.
