Murayama Tôan was the first [[Nagasaki]] ''[[daikan]]''. A [[Christianity|Christian]] and a townsman of Nagasaki, he was selected from among the townsmen of the city to serve as ''daikan'' and was formally appointed by [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]].<br />
<br />
In [[1616]], he planned an attack on [[Taiwan]], with the aim of setting up his own private base of operations there, from which to engage in trade with China. He prepared thirteen ships for the purpose, but the [[Kingdom of Ryukyu|Kingdom of Ryûkyû]] warned [[Ming dynasty|Beijing]] of his plans. Ultimately, only three ships arrived in Taiwan and were quickly repulsed.<br />
<br />
Despite this defeat, Murayama remained ''daikan'' in Nagasaki, working alongside the [[Nagasaki bugyo|Nagasaki bugyô]], until [[1619]], when he was executed for his religion.<br />
