*''Japanese'': [[島津]]忠重 ''(Shimazu Tadashige)''
Shimazu Tadashige was the son of [[Shimazu Tadayoshi]], last ''daimyô'' of [[Satsuma han]].
Unlike his father Tadayoshi, who was known for retaining traditional samurai modes of dress and lifestyle for some time into the [[Meiji period]], Tadashige had a British tutor from a young age, and adopted Western modes quite early in his life.
