We've been around and around on Toshimitsu before, see this prior post:
www.myjapanesehanga.com/home/artists/kobayashi-toshimitsu-active-1877-1904
I dipped into 'Woodblock Kuchi-e Prints', which has nice bios of some of these Meiji artists (including a number of Yoshitoshi's student), but no luck. (Although the fact that the index only lists complete names makes it far less useful - who knows off the top of their head that one needs to look up 'Migita Toshihide' instead of just plain old 'Toshihide'?)
As the 'Yoshitoshi students' page mentions, it draws mostly on Keyes' biography, which I believe Guy has already mined in an earlier message in this thread.
Alas, I'm too busy with another project (Kunisada II's '8 Dog Heroes') to tackle this - feel free to drop me an email (at jnc at mit.edu) if you have some hard data to update the Yoshitoshi students page with! (And I will bookmark your Toshimitsu page, also.)
