The leader of the Seikihoutai, Captain Sozou Sagara, was a man who believed in the equality of the four classes during the time of the Tokugawa Era. He believed and supported the government during his time, hoping that one day his dream would become a reality. Sozou was a kind and peaceful man, thus, he and his group were taken advantage of by an Ishin named Tatewaki Shindo.

Tatewaki told Sozou to spread word that the current government would cut the price in half. He did so, believing that it was the truth, but in reality, it was far from it. People learned of the lies the Seikihoutai and began trusting the Ishin Government. It was all a set up. The Ishin Government had used the Seikihoutai to force the people into trusting the new, rising government. Tatewaki revealed his true colors and assassinated most of the Seikihoutai with gunmen.

Sozou was severly wounded, but he had enough time to save Sanosuke from being killed. A few days later, Sozou Sagara was executed in front of many whom he had told about the cut in the price of rice. In the current time, the only two known survivors of the Seikihoutai are Sanosuke Sagara and Tsunan Tsukioka, the two youngest members of the group that is now known in the history books as a group of liars. Sozou's last name was adopted by Sanosuke, as he was respected by Sano when he was a child.
