*''Titles: Uneme no shô''
*''Japanese'': [[土屋]] 寅直 ''(Tsuchiya Toranao)''
Tsuchiya Toranao was a [[Bakumatsu]] period daimyô of [[Tsuchiura han]].
A ''[[soshaban|sôshaban]]'' in [[1848]], he was in the 1st month of that year named apprentice Temples & Shrines Magistrate (''[[Jisha bugyo|Jisha bugyô]] minarai''), and then promoted to full Magistrate nine months later. Two years later, in [[1850]], [[Naito Nobuchika|Naitô Nobuchika]] became [[Kyoto shoshidai]] and Toranao was appointed his replacement as [[Osaka jodai|Osaka jôdai]]. He was also at the same time appointed to help oversee preparations for an upcoming [[Korean embassy to Edo]] which, ultimately, never took place.
While serving as ''Osaka jôdai'', he made efforts to relieve the poverty and suffering of the people of the city.
When Russian naval captain [[Yevfimy Vasilyevich Putyatin]] led a fleet to Osaka in [[1854]], Toranao met with the two Osaka ''[[machi bugyo|machi bugyô]]'' and others to discuss options and possibilities, ultimately suggesting to the shogunate that Putyatin not be received at Osaka but rather that he be told to go to [[Shimoda]].
