Ibaraki Tsukasa participated in the Sanjô Seisatsu Incident. He tried to join Goryô Eji but was refused. Then he asked Aizu han for permission to leave the Shinsengumi but was also refused. He and other 3 members Nakamura Gorô, Sano Shimenosuke, Tomikawa Jurô lost the way out and commited Seppuku.

His gravesite confirms this, stating that he committed suicide on 6/14/1867, however other sources state that he was actually killed by Ôishi Kuwajirô and others.
