Hirayama Keichû was a [[Tokugawa shogunate]] official who, while holding the post of ''kachi-metsuke'' in [[1854]], participated in receptions and meetings with [[Commodore Matthew Perry]].
When negotiations regarding the opening of [[Shimoda]] were still underway in the first two months of [[1854]], Hirayama was among the officials who boarded Perry's ships several times and were present for those discussions. When Perry turned to sail to [[Hakodate]] in the 4th month of that year, Hirayama was among those quickly dispatched to meet him there. They arrived in the 5th month.
