There is a class picture of Yoshida (Teacher), Gintama, Katsura, Takasugi,
Sakamoto with "Other" students when they were a child.

How come the "Other" students from the class picture did not appear when they
grew up as an adult? (If I am not mistaken)

gintama
Where are Yoshida Shouyou's "Other" students currently?


They most likely gave up on being a samurai and accepted the alien government
when the war was lost and their teacher died or they were caught executed by
the government for taking part in the war.

What I assume is they were probably killed in the war. You can see the picture
below where there is an extra member (leftmost guy in the pic) in Gintoki's
group that looks like Isao Kondo (Gorilla) but is not.

The identity of this guy is not known till date. So I assume he is one of
those students who died in the war.

Yup. They either died during the war (most likely), or they gave up on their
ways and accepted their alien overlords, unlike Gintoki, Katsura, and
Takasugi. It's never truly specified in the Anime, but I'm going to assume
that that's what happened.
