Isawa Masayoshi was a Tokugawa shogunate official who served as Uraga bugyô beginning in 1853.
After being promoted to Uraga bugyô from yoriai in 1853, he was named Shimoda bugyô in 1854 following the Convention of Kanagawa (which Isawa and three others signed on behalf of the shogunate), which opened Shimoda to American ships and sailors.
In 1855, he was reassigned to the position of fushin bugyô.[1] The following year, he was named metsuke and assigned to oversee matters of coastal defense (kaibô).[2]
