Known for his exceptional swordsmanship, Okita became one of the most famous members of the Shinsengumi. He was regarded as a highly skilled swordsman and was associated with the group's demanding swordsmanship training. Okita is also traditionally associated with the Sandanzuki, a rapid three-thrust sword technique said to target the opponent's neck and both shoulders in a single sequence. Although details of his techniques have been preserved through historical accounts and later traditions, his reputation as an exceptionally talented swordsman remains strong. His life was cut short by illness. Okita suffered from tuberculosis during the final years of his life and died in 1868, shortly before the end of the Tokugawa era. Today, Okita Souji remains one of the most recognizable figures associated with the Shinsengumi and is especially popular among enthusiasts of Japanese swordsmanship, samurai history, and Bakumatsu-era culture.
