Shinsengumi In Rurouni Kenshin

The Shinsengumi were a special police force of the Bakumatsu. In the start of their founding, the Shinsengumi were initially known as the Miburo, meaning ronin of Mibu. However, the reputation of being known as the ronin of Mibu became tarnished quite early on, and their nickname soon changed to Wolves of Mibu, then now formally known as the Shinsengumi. Okita Souji, Nagakura Shinpachi and Saito Hajime were considered the strongest swordsmen of the group with Kondo Isami and Hijikata Toshizo acting as the lead commanders. The Shinsengumi later disbanded at the time Hijikata was killed in the Battle of Hakodate leaving them leaderless and thus the collapse of the Tokugawa and the surrender of the Bakufu army in 1869.

Weapons: Izumi-no-Kami Kanesada
Description: Hijikata Toshizo was the vice-commander and co-founder of the legendary Shinsengumi. He wrote the Internal Regulations and developed the fighting style, including the Hirazuki technique which later became the basis of Saito Hajime's signature move, the Gatotsu, along with serving as an inspiration for Okita Soji to develop his own signature move the Sandanzuki. He tolerates no imperfection, but is not unreasonable. As such, he has the respect of all 40 members of the Shinsengumi. He was killed in the Battle of Hakodate during the last days of the Boshin War. His death also marked the end of the Shinsengumi.

Okita Soji
Rank: Captain of the First Shinsengumi Unit
Fighting Style: Mumyo-ken (Sandanzuki)
Weapons: Katana, Wakizashi
Description: Okita Soji was the leader of the first squad of the Shinsengumi during the Bakumatsu. He is one of the best swordsmen of the Shinsengumi. He created his own move called Mumyo-ken (Sandanzuki) derived from Hijikata Toshizo's hirazuki which is a move involving hitting three parts of the torso simultaneously in a single strike. Okita is kind and respectful to both his fellow Shinsengumi members and his enemies alike. He is usually shown with a confident smile and takes his fights seriously, despite his childlike appearance. Although he respects all Shinsengumi leaders, he shows a particular respect to Saito Hajime who was also considered on an equal level with him in terms of swordsmanship.

Nakagura Shinpachi
Rank: Captain of the Second Shinsengumi Unit
Fighting Style: Shinsengumi-Kenjutsu
Weapon: Katana

As a high-ranking police officer / special agent of the government and a former unit commander to the Shinsengumi, Saito is an extremely powerful combatant. His skills rank among the strongest in the series as shown from his long-standing rivalry and constant fighting on par with Himura Kenshin, leading to all their fights ending inconclusively. Saito's signature move is a refined Hirazuki technique known as the Gatotsu based on the real fighting style of the Shinsengumi.

He has a passion for killing, enjoying it so much that he killed people on the side of the Ishin-Shishi as well as members of his own Shinsengumi.
