Yamamoto Masayoshi was a Satsuma han retainer, and the first lead instructor of the Zôshikan, a domain school established by Shimazu Shigehide in 1773.

A Confucian scholar, Yamamoto served for a time as seidô bugyô (Magistrate of the Confucian Hall) in Satsuma, before being appointed to head the newly-established Zôshikan. He served in that position for many years, and then later was named monogashira yônin.

In 1802, he compiled a history of the domain entitled Shimazu kokushi.
