*''Japanese'': 長崎奉行 ''(Nagasaki bugyou)''
The ''Nagasaki bugyô'', or Nagasaki Magistrates, were the chief officials appointed by the [[Tokugawa shogunate]] to oversee local city matters and in particular matters relating to foreign trade at the port of [[Nagasaki]]. Though originally there were two appointed to the position - one based in Nagasaki, and one in [[Edo]] - the number was later doubled to four in the [[Genroku]] period. The Nagasaki ''bugyô'' enjoyed the same rank or level of prestige as the [[Osaka jodai|Osaka jôdai]] and [[Kyoto shoshidai]], who held similar positions in those two cities.
The position was created by [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]], and remained in place throughout the [[Edo period]].
