Serizawa in Fiction
Serizawa is featured in Shiba Ryotaro's Moeyo Ken (Burn, O Sword) and Shinsengumi Keppuroku (Record of Shinsengumi Bloodshed).
He is also featured in the manga Kaze Hikaru as Commander Serizawa and is pictured as a jolly man, often red nosed from drunkedness but below his comic and often perverted nature is also a fierce opponent that should not be judged upon. He is often seen on drinking fests with the rest of the Mibu or always trying to get a kiss from Kamiya Seizaburo (Tominaga Sei). He falls in love in with a woman named Oume. His fight with the Sumos and meeting Oume are historical facts based from the real life story of Serizawa.
Serizawa's assassination was portrayed in the anime version of Peacemaker Kurogane
Serizawa is featured in NHK Shinsengumi, as powerful swordsman, with a short temper, yet he had a strong spirit, and a great love for his country. Four Shinsengumi members were sent to assassinate him. Hijikata, Okita, Harada, and Yamanami. Okita foolishly swung his Katana and it got stuck on the top off a doorway. Serizawa broke Hijikata's sword in two. Serizawa then slipped on his own bottle of sake, then Okita stabbed him through the heart hit his Kodachi, and then Hijikata finished him off by stabbing him in the back.
In Rurouni Kenshin the character Shishio Makoto is roughly based on Serizawa Kamo as said by the manga artist Nobuhiro Watsuki, creator of Rurouni Kenshin series, during an interview (contained in Kenshin Kaden).
Also included as a character in Hakuouki Reimeiroku, Serizawa plays a major role in the most recent series of the anime HakuĊki.

Famous quotes containing the word fiction:
“Given that external reality is a fiction, the writer’s role is almost superfluous. He does not need to invent the fiction because it is already there.”
