*''Japanese'': [[矢田部]] 雲八 ''(Yatabe Kumohachi)''
Yatabe Kumohachi was a [[Mito han]] retainer known for his involvement in factional politics within the domain, and for efforts to weaken and seize control from lord [[Tokugawa Yoshiatsu]] and his father (former lord of Mito) [[Tokugawa Nariaki]].
In [[1855]], Yatabe, alongside a number of others who favored the politics of imprisoned former [[Mito Tokugawa clan]] ''[[karo|karô]]'' [[Yuki Toraju|Yûki Toraju]], conspired to somehow weaken Yoshiatsu and Nariaki and reclaim control of domain administration from them. Their plot was discovered, however, and Kumohachi fled along with his younger brother, [[Omine Shozo|Ômine Shôzô]]. On [[1856]]/1/25, a number of their co-conspirators were imprisoned by Yoshiatsu's administration.
