In March 1869, after hearing reports of incoming Japanese forces plans to captured Hokkaido, Gengo leads a group of sailors (including Arai Ikunosuke and Hijikata Toshizō) and French Army advisors (including Jules Brunet, Arthur Fortant, François Bouffier, Jean Marlin, and Pierre Garde). Gengo seems to have been the center of the operation because of the belief that "Let's attack aggressively rather than waiting for the enemy". The flagship "Kaiten Maru", commanded by Captain Gengo, arrived at Miyako Bay along with the "Banryu Maru" and "Kaohsiung Maru", but due to bad weather, the "Banryu Maru" strayed and the "Kaohsiung Maru" broke down. Only "Kaiten Maru" will enter the Battle of Miyako Bay. It had said that Gengo said in his final word before the attack, "Even my ship is enough to defeat the enemy."
Gengo endured the inferiority and was fiercely commanding on the deck while being shot through the left foot and right arm by bullets, but as he charged at the sailors, he was shot through the head by a rifle bullet. He was 31 years old. The ship was taken command by Arai and retreated back to Hakodate on the 26th, and Gengo;s body was buried the next day. The place of his burial was a certain temple, but it is said that it was later reburied behind the Hekketsu-hi Monument. In 1931, his nephew and adopted child, Nobumasa Kōga, built a monument in the precincts of the Daikannon Light Source Temple in Komagome, Tokyo, near the former Kakegawa clan's residence.

Eugène Mercier (1838-1904) is a French entrepreneur and a founder of a champagne company named after him. He is considered the inventor of film advertising.
Mercier Champagne House was founded in 1858.
It is located in Epernay. Mercier was a small business that was part of the "Owners' Union".
In 1871, he began digging huge cellars and construction of the world's largest barrel.
In 1885, cellars were opened to the public. Mercier installed advanced electrical equipment (firstly for that period), as well as a steam generator to illuminate the cellars.
In 1887, his barrel's tightness was tested with a new annual grape harvest.
Mercier arranged for his barrel to be moved to Paris for the 1889 World's Fair.
In 1891, French President Sadi Carnot visited the cellars and an excursion was organized for him.
In 1900, Paris hosted the last world exhibition of the XIX century. Eugene Mercier appreciated the potential of the Lumière brothers. He asked them to make a film about the Mercier champagne house, in which the owner himself appears on the screen. The world's first film commercial was shown during the world exhibition.
Enthusiastic about balloons, Eugene Mercier had an idea to consolidate the advertising of his company during the international exhibition. He secured a tethered balloon on the Field of Mars, loaded with bottles of champagne. During the 1900 World's Fair, the balloon was blown away by 20,000 people.
