He had a dojo for practicing the [[Tennen Rishin Ryu]] in his residence.

During the [[Boshin War]], he formed a farmers troop [[Kasugatai]] and fought in the [[Battle of Koshu-Katsunuma]] with the [[Koyo Chinbutai]].
But they were defeated so he had to hide himself from the pro-Emperor troops for awhile.
His support to the [[Shinsengumi]] never changed.
After the [[Meiji Restoration]], he and [[Kojima Shikanosuke]] made an effort for honorary recovery of the Shinsengumi.
