==Shieikan==
Kondô Isami was born Miyagawa Katsugoro, in the village of Kami-Ishihara in [[Musashi province]], where he came from a farming family. In [[1848]] Kondô Isami started training in the [[Tennen Rishin Ryu]] sword style, at the [[Shieikan]] (this ryu was studied by many members of the Shinsengumi). A year later in [[1849]], he was adopted by [[Kondo Shusuke|Kondô Shûsuke]] (the third master of the Tennen Rishin Ryu) and changed his name to Shimazaki Katsuta. In [[1861]] Kondô became the fourth master of Tennen Rishin Ryu.
In [[1863]], Kondô and another 8 Shieikan members joined the [[Roshigumi]]. The Roshigumi arrived at [[Kyoto]] on Feb 23, staying at the [[Yagi Gennojo]] residence in Mibu.
==Shinsengumi==
[[Kiyokawa Hachiro]] suggested the Roushigumi return to [[Edo]], however, Kondô and 23 other Roushi decided to stay in Kyoto.
They submitted a petition to Lord [[Matsudaira Katamori]] of [[Aizu han]], the [[Military Commissioner of Kyoto]] and started working under Aizu han as [[Mibu Roshigumi]].
The Mibu Roshigumi were ordered to guard Ohanabatake gate during the [[Political change on August 18]].
After that, they were given the new name [[Shinsengumi]] by Katamori (Or [[Buke Denso]]).
On September 16, Kondô Isami's group killed [[Serizawa Kamo|Serizawa Kamo's]] group and Kondô became commander of the Shinsengumi.
In [[1864]], the Shinsengumi raided the Ikedaya ([[Ikedaya Affair]]) and destroyed the
[[Sonjo Roshi]] group.
After the [[Kinmon rebellion]], Kondô went back to Edo to hire more members.
He brought [[Ito Kashitaro|Ito Kashitaro's]] group to Kyoto.
In [[1867]] June, Shinsengumi members were appointed to be [[Jikisan]].
In December, Kondô was shot in the right shoulder on the Fushimi street, and was narrowly saved by [[Shimada Kai]].
