== 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? --[[User:Shogun|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.--[[User:Shikisoku|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? --[[User:Shogun|Kitsuno]] 01:14, 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? --[[User:Shogun|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.--[[User:Shikisoku|Shikisoku]] 00:54, 25 December 2006 (PST)
