The plot of the first season of the anime series Hakuoki takes place during the Bakumatsu period in Japan from 1853 to 1867. Chizuru Yukimura, a 16-year-old girl, is searching for her missing father in Kyoto. Her search leads her to encounter bloodthirsty swordsmen that are slayed by a fictional iteration of the Shinsengumi. Chizuru learns that the Shinsengumi is also looking for her father, Kodo Yukimura, so they allow her to stay with them in exchange for her help in looking for Kodo. During her stay with the Shinsengumi, Chizuru is dragged into a war against anti-foreign factions and then learns about the existence of Water of Life, a drug developed by her father that increases one's strength but drives them into a vampiric state where they are thirsty for blood called Rasetsu. Kodo used the Shinsengumi members as test subjects to complete the elixir. The creation of Rasetsu also earns attention of a group of Oni (Demon) working for the opposing faction who seeks to destroy all Rasetsu, including the Shinsengumi.
The anime is produced by Studio Deen. It is also jointly produced by Asuka Yamazaki, Kazuhiko Hasegawa, and Mitsutoshi Ogura, with music composed by Kow Otani, and the story written by Megumu Sasano, Mitsutaka Hirota, Yoshiko Nakamura, and Osamu Yamasaki.
