May 1863 , The predecessor of the Shinsengumi " Mibu Roushigumi ( " Miburo Shigumi ) Enlisted in.

"Ikedaya Incident" that made the name of the Shinsengumi roar to the world Is June 1864, one year later.

He is said to have been a master of jujutsu, and is the boss of the Shinsengumi Kyoto Shugoshoku ( Kyoto and Shugoshoku ) Matsudaira Katamori ( Matsudai Irakatamori ) He even performed martial arts training in front of him.

The Kyoto Shugoshoku is the position of the Edo Shogunate that protects the security of Kyoto. That subordinate is the Shinsengumi.

However, Aijiro is more famous for good-looking guys than martial arts. Anyway "Shinsengumi 5 beautiful men" Because it is included in.

Good-looking deputy director with photos left, Hijikata Toshizo ( Hijikata Toshizo ) Mr., there are no photos left, but the first captain, Soji Okita , is always drawn with good-looking guys. ( Okita cleaning ) Is not included in the "Five Beautiful Men".

Aijiro-san must have been a pretty handsome guy.

And August- three months after joining the Shinsengumi. ..

19 years old Tragic Death at Youth Will be achieved.

Aijiro and his lover Agri, a tragic escape story.

Chief Director of Serizawa Kamo, Serizawa Kamo ( Serizawa Kamo ) Mr. Miss.

Despite his position as chief director, he always has an iron fan, drinks alcohol from daytime, and never gets drunk.

Fundraising from merchants was also blackmailed, and later the director of the Shinsengumi, Isami Kondo ( Kondo Isami ) Was also burning his hands.

The Mibu Roushigumi at this time was hated by the people.

One day, Mr. Serizawa, his subordinates, and Mr. Aijiro also visited the spectacle hut.

The hut has big tigers and rare colorful birds There was. Parakeets and parrots, which are rare at that time.

"There can't be such a strange bird! Sprinkle water on it to wash away the dye!" Serizawa-san.

Make a fuss with the usual difficult habits.

Aijiro and his friends desperately soothed Serizawa and repaired the place.

A month later, the owner of the freak show and Aijiro will resume.

As a thank-you, I visited a greengrocer where my husband's younger brother is open.

There, Aijiro meets the daughter of a greengrocer, Agri, in a fateful encounter.

It didn't take long for the two to develop into a love affair.

Aguri is a beautiful woman who is famous in the streets, and Aijiro is a handsome guy who is among the five beautiful men in the Shinsengumi. It is a so-called "beautiful couple".

However, Mr. Serizawa found that the two were walking in harmony with each other.

Mr. Serizawa said, "Let's make Agri my concubinage!" I will tell Aijiro-san.

Aijiro who is worried.

There, Matasaburo Saeki , who also reports to Mr. Serizawa. ( Saeki Mataburo ) Sent out a rescue boat.

"Get out of the Shinsengumi and run away from Director Serizawa with your lover!"

And one night in August, they both ran away. Dreaming of a future full of love ...

But that happened suddenly.

Two people Suzaku Senbon Suzaku Senbon As I tried to pass the street, Aijiro was killed by thugs who suddenly appeared from the bush.

The one who was ambushed in the bush was Matasaburo Saeki, who advised Aijiro to escape.

Agri, who witnessed the scene, also bit her tongue and committed suicide.

Mr. Saeki was also trying to make Agri his own.

Ten days later, Matasaburo Saeki was assassinated by someone on the same Suzaku Senbon Dori. it was done.

Matasaburo Saeki, easy profile!

Birth is unknown.

After joining the Shinsengumi, he began to act with the Serizawa faction.

At that time, the Shinsengumi had a Serizawa faction and a Kondo faction, and I felt like I wasn't on good terms.

However, there is a theory that Mr. Saeki was actually a spy of the Choshu clan (Yamaguchi prefecture) who was hostile to the Shinsengumi.

A spy was revealed to Mr. Serizawa, and he was killed.

Another theory is that Serizawa took a lie because he killed Aijiro and Aguri. Mr. Serizawa was very fond of Mr. Aijiro.

Killed by the Choshu clan There is also a theory.

Because Mr. Saeki stopped disseminating information to the Choshu clan and began to put himself in the Shinsengumi.

On the contrary, there is a story that Aijiro was a spy of the Choshu clan.

What is the truth?

I can't imagine it.

It's also the fun of history.
