BTW, what is "shinsengumi"?
I got it from Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X. It is the name of a group of ronin samurai that were formed by the Tokugawa shogunate. In the series, they mostly patrolled Kyoto and made life hell for the rebels, including Kenshin. Hajime Saito was the captain of the third squad of the Shinsengumi, both in the series and in real life. And being as he's my favorite character from that series and the Shinsengumi were a bunch of badasses that struck fear in the rebels, I decided to use that name.
