1868-Okita Sōji (沖田総司)
Okita Sōji (沖田 総司, 1842 or 1844 – July 19, 1868) was the captain of the first unit of the Shinsengumi, a special police force in Kyoto during the late shogunate period. He was one of the best swordsmen of the Shinsengumi.
During the Boshin War, after the Battle of Toba–Fushimi in the first month of the year Keiō-4, Okita went into Matsumoto Ryōjun's hospital in Edo.[16] He then moved to a guesthouse with Okita Rintarou, Okita Mitsu, and their children. When the shogunate forces (including the Shinsengumi and the Shinchōgumi) retreated to the Tōhoku region, Okita remained in Edo alone.[17] He died from tuberculosis on July 19 (the 30th day of the fifth month, by the lunar calendar), 1868. Later that night, he was buried at Senshō-ji Temple in Azabu, Edo, under his birth name (with Okita Sōji listed in the death records.) The claim that Okita died when he was 25 is based on the theory that he was born in 1844 and therefore was 25 by East Asian age reckoning when he died in 1868.
The Senshō-ji Temple cemetery had been open to the public for years until the release of NHK's Taiga drama, Shinsengumi! in 2004. Due to the newfound interest in the Shinsengumi and Okita thanks to the drama itself, many visitors flocked to the temple to see his grave, resulting in the temple's cemetery to become restricted to the public, except for one day each year in June.
Like the other members of the Shinsengumi, fictionalized accounts of Okita's life and actions appear in novels, period dramas and anime/manga series. Although his given name is sometimes pronounced as "Soushi" in the fictional world, it is actually "Sōji".

I think I've made some decent progress this year in terms of improving my drawing skills. I'm still working to improve, but this image I think is a good example.

I visited Rippongi Hills today.
Sole purpose of this adventure was to visit Sensho-ji, where Okita Souji's grave is.
The grave site is closed to the public, after the 2004 NHK Taiga drama and is only open once a year on Okita's death day.
However, the grave yard is visible from the side road and over the fence, where the grave itself is visible.
Now, for something a little extra. I took this next photo as I was leaving (I didn't loiter too long around this temple, because it is a residential area and a graveyard. If you're going to visit, please be respectful).
But this made me very emotional, see the orb? My phone doesn't capture light like this and never has done it before... maybe it was Okita?!
