*''Japanese'': [[榊原]] 政治 ''(Sakakibara Masaharu)''

Sakakibara Masaharu was a retainer of [[Shonai han|Shônai han]] and student at the [[Kagoshima]] [[Shigakko|Shigakkô]] ([[Satsuma Army Cadet School]]) who fought and died in the [[Satsuma Rebellion]].

Although not a retainer of [[Satsuma han]], Masaharu was permitted to enter the Satsuma Army Cadet School in [[1875]]. When the Satsuma Rebellion broke out in [[1877]], he was given the opportunity to simply return to Shônai. He decided to remain and to fight for Satsuma; injured in the [[battle of Mifune]], he died in a hospital at Nobeoka on 1877/5/10 and was buried at the [[Nanshu Cemetery|Nanshû Cemetery]] in Kagoshima.
