Supplemental Notes: On February the Kouyou Chibuntai was formed by the Bakufu with only 20 or so members. I’m really interested in the Kouyou Chibuntai but the only info I see is on Serizawa Kamo’s website. If you or anyone like you know more about the Kouyou Chibuntai aside from what’s on SK-sensei’s site please let me know.
The last two sections on Regimental Soldier which mentions “omission” is still being worked at. However this is quite an interesting structure if you compare it to what we know in fandom. Okita head of the small Artillery? I found Ogata Shuntarou’s footprint very interesting and of course Saitou wasn’t the 3rd Captain early on. Ne? Someone asked me whether Andou was appointed as a first Captain, I couldn’t answer so I looked up the organization, I doubt Andou was a first Captain, however he was certainly a “Fukuchou Jokin” which most of the Captains had as a concurrent title. ^__^
This was taken from “Shinsengumi Thoroughness Guide” which used various source such as “Shinsengumi Otona na Jiten”, “Shinsengumi Taishiden”, “Shinsengumi Nisshi”, Shinsengumi Reader and “Shinsengumi Taishi” and History Reader issue “Ten Shinsengumi Leaders”. Hmmm yeah so I cheat.. But do you really think I could read all those on my own. Heh… As usual my disclaimers apply and feel free to use for whatever purposes as long as you don’t get you nor I in deep kimchi.
