The Shôgitai was a pro-[[Tokugawa shogunate|shogunate]] military unit formed in [[1868]] to combat anti-shogunate forces.
The group was originally formed in [[1868]]/2, by [[Hitotsubashi branch]] retainer [[Shibusawa Eiichi|Shibusawa Seiichirô]], [[Hatamoto]] [[Amano Hachiro|Amano Hachirô]] and 67 pro-Bakufu comrades who gathered at that time in Zôshigaya. They were first stationed at a temple in Asakusa, then moved to [[Kan'ei-ji]] in Ueno to serve as the guards of [[Shogun]] [[Tokugawa Yoshinobu]].
