Enomoto Takeaki and the rebels, numbering around 3,000, traveled by ship and reached Hokkaidō in October 1868, before the battle's opening.
Enomoto refused to remit his fleet to the new government, departing Shinagawa in August 1868 with warships, transports, sailors, and French military advisors. The rebels, numbering around 3,000, traveled by ship with Enomoto and reached Hokkaidō in October 1868. This arrival preceded the battle's start and the later proclamation of the Republic of Ezo on 27 January 1869.
