[[File:Hikan-inari.jpg|right|thumb|320px|Hikan Inari Shrine, established by Shinmon Tatsugorô]]
*''Japanese'': 新門辰五郎 ''(Shinmon Tatsugorou)''
Shinmon Tatsugorô was a head of the tenth division of one of the [[Edo]] [[firefighters|fire brigades]]. He is known for the Hikan [[Inari]] [[Shinto shrines|Shrine]] he established at [[Senso-ji|Sensô-ji]] in [[1855]], after his wife prayed at [[Fushimi Inari Shrine]] for recovery from a serious illness, and enjoyed a full recovery. The 1855 structure survives today.
Tatsugorô was a retainer under Rinnôji-no-miya, abbot of [[Kan'ei-ji]], and an adopted son of [[Machida Niemon]]. When [[Prince Rinnoji-no-miya Shunnin|Prince Rinnôji-no-miya Shunnin]] took up residence at [[Senso-ji|Sensô-ji]] in his retirement, Tatsugorô was assigned to oversee the construction and guarding of a new gate for the prince's travels between Asakusa and Ueno. Though originally bearing the surname Machida, Tatsugorô then came to be known as Shinmon (lit. "new gate").
