*''Other Names'': [[清水]]兼次郎 ''(Shimizu Kenjirou)'', 財部実行 ''(Takarabe Saneyuki)''
*''Japanese'': [[町田]]清次郎 ''(Machida Seijirou)''
Machida Seijirô was one of nineteen [[Satsuma students|young men]] from [[Satsuma han]] who snuck out of the country in [[1865]] in order to study in Europe. Age 15 at the time, he accompanied his two older brothers, 28-year-old [[Machida Hisanari]] and 19-year-old [[Machida Sanetsumi]], on this journey.
Unlike most members of the mission, he did not choose a subject to focus on in his studies, because of his young age. While in Europe, he went by the name Shimizu Kenjirô, but after he returned to Japan in [[1866]]/8, he changed his name to Takarabe Saneyuki.
