Hasegawa Gonroku served as ''[[Nagasaki bugyo|Nagasaki bugyô]]'' circa [[1621]], and in that year played a significant role in the reception of a formal embassy from [[Ayutthaya]] (Siam).
His family, based in [[Nagasaki]], were samurai retainers to the [[Tokugawa shogunate]], but were also directly involved in the Southeast Asia trade, and held [[shuinsen|red seal ship]] licenses (''shuinjô'') authorizing them in that trade.
