Supplemental Notes: <\/strong>On February the Kouyou Chibuntai was formed by the Bakufu with only 20 or so members. I\u2019m really interested in the Kouyou Chibuntai but the only info I see is on Serizawa Kamo\u2019s website. If you or anyone like you know more about the Kouyou Chibuntai aside from what\u2019s on SK-sensei\u2019s site please let me know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last two sections on Regimental Soldier which mentions \u201comission\u201d 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\u2019s footprint very interesting and of course Saitou wasn\u2019t the 3rd Captain early on. Ne? Someone asked me whether Andou was appointed as a first Captain, I couldn\u2019t answer so I looked up the organization, I doubt Andou was a first Captain, however he was certainly a \u201cFukuchou Jokin\u201d which most of the Captains had as a concurrent title. ^__^<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was taken from \u201cShinsengumi Thoroughness Guide\u201d which used various source such as \u201cShinsengumi Otona na Jiten\u201d, \u201cShinsengumi Taishiden\u201d, \u201cShinsengumi Nisshi\u201d, Shinsengumi Reader and \u201cShinsengumi Taishi\u201d and History Reader issue \u201cTen Shinsengumi Leaders\u201d. Hmmm yeah so I cheat.. But do you really think I could read all those on my own. Heh\u2026 As usual my disclaimers apply and feel free to use for whatever purposes as long as you don\u2019t get you nor I in deep kimchi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
