| + | The Serizawa family were [[Goshi|Gôshi]] of Seizawa village in [[Hitachi province]]. |
| + | Serizawa Mitsumoto was adopted into the Shimomura family and his name was changed to Shimomura Tsuguji. |
| + | Tsuguji was jailed for involvement in the [[Tamatsukurigumi]] which was a [[Sonno|Sonnô]] [[Joi|Jôi]] group in [[Mito han]], however he was released in [[1862]] and then he changed his name to Serizawa Kamo. |

| + | ==Mibu Rôshigumi== |
| + | Serizawa joined the [[Roshigumi|Rôshigumi]] in [[Edo]] in [[1864]] and moved to [[Kyoto]]. |
| + | He and [[Kondo Isami|Kondô Isami]] protested against [[Kiyokawa Hachiro|Kiyokawa Hachirô]] and decided to stay in Kyoto. |
| + | The 24 [[Ronin]] who stayed in Kyoto called themselves the [[Mibu Roshigumi|Mibu Rôshigumi]] and they were employed by [[Aizu han]]. |
| + | However, Serizawa's violent acts became a big problem in Kyoto, so Aizu han secretly ordered Kondo to assassinate Serizawa. |
| + | In [[1863]], [[Hijikata Toshizo|Hijikata Toshizô]], [[Okita Soji|Okita Sôji]], [[Harada Sanosuke]], and [[Yamanami Keisuke]] stormed into [[Yagi Gennojo|Yagi Gennojô's]] house and killed Serizawa and [[Hirayama Goro|Hirayama Gorô]]. (There are alternative theories regarding the people involved in Serizawa's assassination.) Their graves are in [[Mibu temple]] Kyoto. |
