Shikijō

Prior to joining the OniwabanshÅ«, Shikijō was an spy for the Satsuma faction of the Ishin Shishi. In the second year of  1866 Shikijō infiltrated Edo Castle so he could get information about an upcoming battle. There he came face to face with the man who would change his life a13-year old Shinomori Aoshi. Aoshi created scars all over Shikijō’s body, and defeated him. 
 
Aoshi gave Shikijō a chance to join the OniwabanshÅ« and gain strength using OniwabanshÅ« training methods and ” medicines.” Shikijō received no prosperous government job offers in the meji era because he was a traitor.
