Moeyo Ken, known in Japan as Kidou Shinsengumi Moeyo Ken is a PC video game and anime about magical girl variants of Shinsengumi, a police force, and of Sakamoto Ryunosuke and his illegal companion, Nekomaru. Originally an OVA, it was also adapted into a television series. Moeyo Ken was created by Hiroi Oji, creator of the Sakura Wars series, with character designs by Rumiko Takahashi, the creator of Ranma 1/2 and Inuyasha.
Set in an alternate universe Meiji Era, the lead male character of the story, Ryunosuke Sakamoto, is travelling from Shanghai towards Kyoto with his newly-licensed yokai Nekomaru. The law in the story states that to be in legal possession of such a creature that it must be licensed. The Shinsengumi are enforcers of this law.
Kidou Shinsengumi Moeyo Ken: The Meiji restoration put an end to the Tokugawa shogunate and re-installed imperial rule as western powers sought to transform Japan from feudalism into an open trading port. With colonial fleets pounding on Japanese ports, nationalism and Satsuma upstarts seized the imperial palace in Kyoto and restored the young Emperor Meiji while toppling the shogunate capital of Edo. The emperor would later move from Kyoto to Edo which was later renamed Tokyo. With power localized in a small cabal of nobles allied with the Emperor, the Japanese began to regain independence from the Europeans and Americans by democratizing the country and breaking down boundaries between the social classes.
The samurai of Japan would suffer most as their privileges were stripped and rank removed... Placed in the backdrop of these events, Kidou Shin Sangumi Moeyo Ken follows the adventures of a group of lady sword fighters as they deal with heaving changes in Japanese society and the appearance of demonic forces (perhaps an allegory to the "white devils" invading Japan at the time) who seek to destabilize the restoration of Japan. Patrol the streets of Kyoto and repel evil in order to maintain the peace in this interactive-action game created by Sakura Taisen progenitor Hiroi Ouji and manga artist Takahashi Rumiko of Ranma and Inuyasha fame.
