Yagi Brothers

Yagi Tamesaburo and Yagi Yuunosuke are two mischievous and energetic children whose family is staying in Serizawa's home in Mibu Village. The boys originally hate the Shinsengumi as they believe them to be a bunch of murders and when other people in the area start to say nasty things about their father, they create their own sort of revenge by throwing mud at the members (often it's Sei who gets hit).

The boys change their minds, however, after Tamesaburo accidently bumps into a group of ronin, getting mud on the leader's kimono. Okita Souji and Serizawa easily kill the men, earning the respect of the young Yagi brothers in the process.

The brothers later apologize and become good friends with the Shinsengumi, especially Souji (who loves children and often avoids his duties to play with them) and Tominaga Sei. The family later moves into their own separate living area at the Shinsengumi headquarters. After two years, the Shinsengumi move their headquarters to Nishi Honganji, which was a few blocks away. The brothers are upset to see them leave.
