[Died] March 27, 1624.
He was the head of the British trading post in Hirado in the early Edo period. In 1613, he joined the trading fleet of the British East India Company and accompanied Commander J. Saris to Japan, where he opened a trading post in Hirado and became its first head. He had staff stay in Sunpu, Edo, Osaka, and Tsushima, and set up an agency in Nagasaki to expand trade with Japan. He also worked to expand trade with Korea, obtaining a red seal letter and sending trading ships to Siam, Cochinchina, and Tonkin, but was unsuccessful in competing with the Dutch trading post in Japan. He was also held responsible for his failure to collect large loans made to senior vassals of the Hirado domain and to the Chinese resident Li Dan, and was held responsible. He closed the trading post and left Japan in 1624, but died in a shipwreck on his way back to Japan. The diary he kept during his stay in Japan, the "Diary of Richard Cocks," is an important fundamental historical document in the history of Japanese-British trade. An excerpt from it was published in London in 1883, and the complete version and a Japanese translation were published in 1978-80 as the "Diary of the Chief of the British Factory," included in the "Overseas Historical Materials Relating to Japan."
