Shinsengumi
I'm blind enough not to see that Peacemaker Kurogane overlaps with Rurouni Kenshin in some details. The most obvious would be the members of the Shinsengumi. I already have a hunch that they are real historical figures since I was into Rurouni Kenshin years ago, but just that I didn't bother to check the history of the Shinsengumi out.The only difference between the two animes - Peacemaker went into depth the individual Shinsengumi members, while Kenshin just focuses on Saitou Hajime and poked (^^) into Okita Souji for quite a bit.
Similiar characters:
Saitou Hajime - in Kenshin he is ruthless! And very cool. But in Peacemaker Saitou is more of a side-dish character, and strangely enough, has self-claimed supernatural ability... Er... ^_^;;;
Okita Souji - not much info from Kenshin, but a total potential bishounen in Peacemaker. Who wouldn't love Peacemaker's Souji? XD However, I remembered that in Kenshin Souji became the leader (?) or perhaps some unit captain of the Shinsengumi but died young (coz of TB I think?). So sad.
Other characters mentioned only in Peacemaker:
Hijikata Toshizou
Nagakura Shinpachi
Harada Sanosuke
Yamanami Keisuke
Kondou Isami
Toudou Heisuke
Yamazaki Susumu (but in history he's not a spy like in the anime)
Serizawa Kamo (his name looks similar, but I'm not too sure if he's involved in Peacemaker)
Sakamoto Ryoma (not in the Shinsengumi, just listing it down coz I didn't expect him to be a real person)
Very, very resourceful site about the Shinsengumi in Japanese history. I went o_O. Am so enlightened.
[Edit: Okay, I really sat down and read through the site. Yamazaki Susumu did become a spy in the end. Oops, made a boo-boo.]
