There was a man named ”Ito Kashitaro”.
He was the large executive of the Shinsengumi (Join-in-progress).

"Our aims is different from the Kondo."
But around this time he withdrawal with his comrades from the Shinsengumi.
He founded the Corps called "Goryo Eishi".
Roughly meaning of ”Goryo Eishi” is ”Guardsman of the Imperial Palace”.
They were politically close to Satsuma.
　
・・・・・・・・・　
　
”Withdrawal from the Shinsengumi never forgive.”
There was such terms in the Shinsengumi.
But the Shinsengumi executives also participated to Goryo Eishi.　
People might felt the change of times by their actions.　
(However，”Saito Hajime” of the Shinsengumi executive was spy.)
　
・・・・・・・・・　

There was a man in Goryo Eishi named ”Toudou Heisuke”.
He also  was Shinsengumi executive.
Ito visited Sakamoto’s inn with him.
(Todo was same swordsmanship dojo in Edo with Sakamoto.)
　
"Shinsengumi is targeting your life.
This place is very dangerous.
You should move to Tosa’s mansion of Kyoto of security tight."　
Ito advised so to Sakamoto.
　
”Please be careful.”
Letter of advice also had came from Katsura.
(His name was "Kido Jyunitirou" at this time.)　
　
But Sakamoto ignored it.
He lived private houses until his assassination.
