Kirino Toshiaki was a prominent Satsuma han general known for his involvement in both events surrounding the Meiji Restoration, and the Satsuma Rebellion of 1877.
Following the Restoration, he was one of a number of figures, alongside Saigô Takamori, Ôyama Tsunayoshi, and others, who received shôtenroku stipends from the Meiji government as a reward for their involvement in bringing about the Restoration.[1]
Kirino is buried at the Nanshû Cemetery in Kagoshima.
