Home / The Game / Characters / Sanosuke Sagara
     Background
Former member of the Sekiho army, which was a group of political extremists who travelled the country during the Bakumatsu to spread news and propaganda for the Meiji government. Basically, they were revolutionaries like the Ishin Shishi, but much less official. Leaving his family at the age of 9 Sanosuke grew up in the Sekihotai, and as a boy he greatly admired the first divisionç—´ captain Sagara Sozo. After the revolution ended, the Meiji government branded them as bandits since they could not uphold promises like lowering taxes. The Sekihotai were eliminated, Captain Sozo saved Sanosuke and was later executed. This caused an enormous hatred for the Meiji government in Sanoç—´ mind, unable to forgive what the revolutionaries did to the man he looked up to most.
