The Commanding Structure of the Shinsengumi

The Shinsengumi was still a new militia, thus the many changes of structure and command. Click on a name for a profile (a name is not linked I'm currently working on that profile)
(edit: dec. 29th, 2004 -> i still haven't got to those profiles yet x_X).

Pre-Shinsengumi

Joint Captains:
Serizawa Kamo

• Serizawa Kamo was basically the catalyst of the problems that would change the way the Shinsengumi was presented as well as their rules. Brash, rutheless, and cold; the joint commander wielding the iron fan used his status to get what he wanted when he wanted it. A frequent visitor of brothels and bragger of his status to get things for free, his character is what led him to his demise when he was assassinated by a group of unnamed hitokiri (which were suspected to be Hijikata, Yamanami, Okita, and a few others).
