 Kiheitai - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kiheitai militia saw action in the Bombardment of Shimonoseki in 1864, during which the fleets of Great Britain, France, the Netherlands, and the United States fired upon the Chōshū port city of Shimonoseki, and subsequently landed troops.
As the military arm of the pro-reform faction within the Chōshū domain, the Kiheitai helped overthrow the pro-bakufu faction in the Chōshū civil war, repulsed the Chōshū Expedition sent by the Tokugawa bakufu in 1866, and played an important role in the Boshin War of 1869, which led to the Meiji Restoration.
Disbanded in 1868, the success of the socially-mixed unit and its western armaments and tactics was an important influence on the development of the Imperial Japanese Army, and on the later system of universal military conscription in Japan.

 Takasugi Shinsaku - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Takasugi he reorganized his Kiheitai militia into a rifle-unit with the latest modern rifles, and introduced training in western strategy and tactics.
Moreover, Takasugi used his influence with the Sonnô Jôi-movement to promote a more a conciliatory policy towards the West and thus, the ‘movement to expel the barbarians and revere the Emperor’ evolved into an anti-Bakufu movement with the overthrow of the Tokugawa regime as a necessary means to strengthen Japan against the foreigners.
The Kiheitai was disbanded in early 1870 after the establishment of the Imperial Japanese Army.

One was the Satsuma samurai entrepreneur Godai Tomoatsu who had used his intimate business ties with the Scot to turn the Choshu arms deal; and the other was Glover's Japanese manager, the returned castaway from America, Joseph Heco, whom Kido approached for employment for two of his Choshu proteges.
But it was Godai who had been particularly useful to Kido in 1865 when he was recalled from hiding, in the wake of the radical Kiheitai coup in his han, to take charge of preparations for the Second Choshu War with the Bakufu.
The regular forces were inferior to the Kiheitai, and "laughed at even by peasants," according to one report.

Kenshin Himura - the protagonist and if there were to be an antagonist, I think it would be the rest of the cast with exception of the few that help him along the way, namely Hiko Seijuro - the 13th inheritor of the Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu, who renamed and taught Kenshin his renowned swordmanship.
