Kawashô Yoshinori was a young warrior from Fukuoka prefecture, one of 104 from Fukuoka who died in the Satsuma Rebellion. Though traveling to Kagoshima prefecture in answer to a call for aid from the rebels, the Fukuoka warriors never managed to join up with their Satsuma brethren before being killed in battle.
Kawashô died in the battle of Komegura, near the site today of Kagoshima City Hall, on September 4, 1877, though others from his group survived the battle, only to be killed weeks later. Kawashô is bured at the Nanshû Cemetery in Kagoshima.
