In [[1855]], Yatabe, alongside a number of others who favored the politics of imprisoned former [[Mito Tokugawa clan]] ''[[karo|karô]]'' [[Yuki Toraju|Yûki Toraju]], conspired to somehow weaken Yoshiatsu and Nariaki and reclaim control of domain administration from them. Their plot was discovered, however, and Kumohachi fled along with his younger brother, [[Omine Shozo|Ômine Shôzô]]. On [[1856]]/1/25, a number of their co-conspirators were imprisoned by Yoshiatsu's administration.
