Ijichi Shôji, or Masaharu,<ref>The same [[kanji]] used to write the name Shôji can also be read as "Masaharu."</ref> was one of the chief military instructors in [[Satsuma han]] during the [[Bakumatsu]] and early [[Meiji period]]s, and one of [[Saigo Takamori|Saigô Takamori's]] chief strategists during the [[Satsuma Rebellion]].

An instructor at [[Satsuma han|Satsuma's]] samurai military academy, the [[Zoshikan|Zôshikan]], he was a master of the sword, and of strategy, even though his eyes and legs were weak, or disabled.

In the early years of the Meiji period, Ijichi served as ''kyûchû komonkan'' (宮中顧問官), and as head of the Left House (''Sain'') of the legislature, before it was replaced with the ''[[Genroin|Genrôin]]'' (and later the [[Imperial Diet]]).
