A village headman (''[[shoya]]'') from [[Tosa province|Tosa]] with the right to carry two swords, Nakaoka was very active in the loyalist movement.  A friend and associate of [[Sakamoto Ryoma]], Nakaoaka assisted in efforts to bring [[Choshu]] and [[Satsuma province|Satsuma]] together in their anti-[[Tokugawa Bakufu|Bakufu]] alliance. Nakaoka sustained fatal injuries during the assassination of Ryoma, with whom he was staying, at their hideout in the storehouse of the [[Omiya]], a soy seller’s shop in the Kawaramachi district of [[Kyoto]]. Although he lingered for two days before succumbing to his wounds, Nakaoka was unable to positively identify his and Ryoma's assassins.
