Description

Born to a farming family, Toshizo grew up a spoiled and mean child. However, upon witnessing the seppuku of an Aizu samurai, who opposed the Meiji Restoration, Toshizo was overcome with grief. Later that year, he founded the Shinsengumi with a man called Kondo Isami, which acted as a police force that fought Imperial Loyalist activities in Kyoto. Hijikata performed his duties with utter conviction, even ordering friends to commit seppuku where the rules of Shinsengumi demanded it. When it became apparent that the Meiji Restoration was on the verge of triumph, he marched into battle one last time, saying that he went to fight harder and better than he ever had before, and to die for his country. Use Hijikata Toshizo, the Demon of the Shinsengumi, to overcome weakness, to fight with conviction, and to give all in the name of defiance and honor.
