Ogata Shuntaro

In this article, it says: He was missing during the Battle of Aizu. - Is there a story behind this? Does this mean he disappeared during the battle, and was presumed killed? --Kitsuno 21:16, 22 December 2006 (PST)


Some source says he just ran away from Shinsengumi, some source says it was "Missing in Action". Any way he disappeared after the battle of bonari pass and nobody knows after that.--Shikisoku 00:36, 25 December 2006 (PST)

Ishii Yujiro

Ishii Yujirou's father is listed as 石井文弥 - How do you read his name? "Aya", "Bun'ya", "Fumiya"?


It should be Fumiya.--Shikisoku 00:55, 25 December 2006 (PST)


Title question

In "血誠新撰組-峻烈壬生浪士忠と斬" is the 血誠 basically just "blood & makoto", or does 血誠 have a meaning?


I think the word was created for the book title.--Shikisoku 00:38, 25 December 2006 (PST)

Shimada Kai

Shimada Kai's father's name was Kondo Iemon - was Shimada Kai's original name Kondo Kai, or was "Kai" also a name he assumed later? --Kitsuno 21:07, 24 December 2006 (PST)


He was adopted to Shimada Sai of Ogaki han so original name might be Kondo Kai. But I do not have any confirmed source.--Shikisoku 00:46, 25 December 2006 (PST).

In Romulus Hillsborough's new book on the Shinsengumi, it says that "he studied the Shinkeitou style in Edo" - did he just get it wrong, or did Kai study that style as well? --Kitsuno 01:14, 25 December 2006 (PST)


心形刀流 Just different reading.--Shikisoku 01:40, 25 December 2006 (PST)

Looks like he just made a mistake. --Kitsuno 09:33, 25 December 2006 (PST)


Takeda Kanryusai

In Kanryusai's article, it says that he was killed by Saito Hajime, but there is a (?) after that - does it mean that it is unknown if he really did kill him? Also, was Kato Higuma forced to commit seppuku directly because of Kanryusai? --Kitsuno 23:55, 24 December 2006 (PST)


Generally speaking, the assassin of Takeda Kanryusai was Saito but some researchers deny. As for Kato's seppuku, that is what generally believed but some researchers deny.--Shikisoku 00:54, 25 December 2006 (PST)

Todo Heisuke

I'm not sure exactly what this means: he recruited Ito Kashitaro group in Edo. Can you explain? Thanks --Kitsuno 20:39, 25 December 2006 (PST)


Todo went to Edo to recruit new members. Todo and Ito knew each other. Todo asked Ito to join the Shinsengumi, Ito agreed to join with his pupils.--Shikisoku 04:28, 26 December 2006 (PST)

Kiyohara Kiyoshi

Kiyohara Kiyoshi's other name was 武川 直枝 - Takegawa Naoe or Sugue? Or is it something else? --Kitsuno 10:27, 25 December 2006 (PST)


Naoe--Shikisoku 04:31, 26 December 2006 (PST)
