*''Born: c. 1533''
*''Died: c. 1609''
Francisco Cabral was a [[Jesuit]] missionary active in Japan in the 1580s.
Upon the departure of Visitor [[Alessandro Valignano]] from Japan in [[1582]], Valignano appointed Cabral to oversee Jesuit operations in the country. However, whereas Valignano encouraged the Jesuits to adopt Japanese customs in order to better earn the support of Japanese patrons (and to avoid tensions with the authorities), Cabral is said to have found Japanese culture highly unpalatable, refusing to even drink [[tea]], and regularly disparaging the Japanese in his writings. After a very brief term of service, he was thus replaced, at Valignano's orders, with [[Gaspar Coelho]].
