*''Died: [[1855]]/1/11''
*''Other Names'': 貞吉 ''(Sadakichi)'', 渋木松太郎 ''(Shibaki Matsutarô)'', [[市木]] 公太 ''(Ichiki Kôta)''
*''Japanese'': 金子重輔 ''(Kaneko Jûsuke)''

Kaneko Jûsuke was a [[Choshu han|Chôshû domain]] who was stripped of his [[samurai]] status and later imprisoned for crimes committed alongside [[Yoshida Shoin|Yoshida Shôin]].

On [[1854]]/3/27, Kaneko and Yoshida snuck aboard [[Commodore Perry|Commodore Perry's]] flagship, anchored at [[Shimoda]], and asked that Perry take them overseas. He refused, and the pair turned themselves in to [[Tokugawa shogunate]] authorities the next day. The pair were imprisoned at Denba-chô in [[Edo]] for a time, before being sent to Chôshû to be kept under house arrest.

Kaneko died in prison at Noyama in Chôshû on [[1855]]/1/11. He was later posthumously granted the [[court rank|Senior Fifth Rank]].
