This hard-drinking lord of [[Tosa province|Tosa]] was one of the most respected men during the [[Bakumatsu period]]. Although a staunch supporter of the [[Tokugawa clan|Tokugawa]], Yodo read the times correctly and shifted his allegiance to the restoration of Imperial Rule. Although forced into retirement in [[1859]] during the [[Ansei Purge]], Yodo still managed to control Han politics until he retired completely from politics and fettered away his remaining days drinking heavily until his death in 1872. Although he never met [[Sakamoto Ryoma]], it was Yodo who passed on Ryoma’s memorial to Shogun [[Tokugawa Yoshinobu]], urging the Shogun to resign peacefully and cede political control back to the throne, which he did.
