The Uraga ''[[bugyo|bugyô]]'', or Uraga Magistrate, was an official in charge of overseeing maritime activity and coastal defenses at [[Uraga]], and in the surrounding areas.
As part of the [[Tenpo Reforms|Tenpô Reforms]] in [[1842]] and subsequent years, the Uraga ''bugyô'' acted to crack down on illegal and underground [[prostitution]]. The port town had five brothels and eighty-eight prostitutes noted in official records prior to the reforms; the ''bugyô'' at that time took steps to impose [[sumptuary regulations]] and limits on the number of women per brothel. Other port cities took similar steps at the same time, however some, such as [[Niigata]], had a far larger and up to that point far less regulated sex trade, making the imposition of controls difficult.<ref>Amy Stanley, ''Selling Women: Prostitution, Markets, and the Household in Early Modern Japan'', UC Press (2012), 126-127.</ref>
