Yamauchi Yodo

Japanese: 山内容堂 - やまうちようどう
Yamauchi Yodo
Lord of Tosa domain in the late Edo period. His given name was Toyonobu. Yodo was his pen name, and he also had other titles such as Geikai Suiko. He became lord of the domain at the age of 20, and appointed Yoshida Toyo and others to carry out reforms in the domain's government. During the issue of the succession to the shogunate in 1857-1858, he worked hard with Matsudaira Yoshinaga and Shimazu Nariakira to support Hitotsubashi Yoshinobu. He retired amid the oppression of the Ansei Purge, but resumed his activities in 1862, aiming to realize a union of powerful domains by uniting the Imperial Court and the Shogunate. In 1867, following a proposal by Goto Shojiro, he submitted a petition to Tokugawa Yoshinobu for the return of imperial rule to the Emperor. He served as a councilor in the Meiji government.
