*''Japanese'': [[川越]] 庸太郎 ''(Kawagoe Yôtarô)''

Kawagoe Yôtarô was a young warrior from [[Fukuoka prefecture]], one of 104 from Fukuoka who died in the [[Satsuma Rebellion]]. Though traveling to [[Kagoshima prefecture]] in answer to a call for aid from the rebels, the Fukuoka warriors never managed to join up with their Satsuma brethren before being killed in battle.

Kawagoe died in the [[battle of Shiroyama]], on September 24, [[1877]], at the age of 26. He is buried at the [[Nanshu Cemetery|Nanshû Cemetery]] in Kagoshima.
