*''Japanese'': [[竹内]] 保徳 ''(Takeuchi Yasunori)''

Takeuchi Yasunori was a [[Tokugawa shogunate]] official known for leading the shogunate's first official embassy to Europe; the embassy departed [[Edo]] on [[1861]]/12/2, meeting with Napoleon III in Paris several months later, as well as attending the 1862 World's Fair ([[Great London Exposition]]).

Prior to this embassy, Takeuchi was assigned ''[[Hakodate bugyo|Hakodate bugyô]]'' in [[1854]]/6, the first to hold that post in conjunction with the port being opened to foreign activity.<ref>Ishin Shiryô Kôyô 維新史料綱要, vol 1 (1937), 618.</ref>
