--Notes--

*1 :  In a previous manga Aoyama drew called "Yaiba" there is a character named Souji Okita. In real life Okita Souji was the captain of the special police force in the Edo period known as the Shinsengumi. The Shinsengumi was created by the Tokugawa Shogunate at a time when there was a threat that the government was going to be overthrown and the political system would change (the Meiji Restoration). The Shinsengumi were a group of skilled swordsman who where charged with cutting down radical "reformists", or in other words, people they saw as a threat to the Shogunate. They mainly operated in Kyoto.
