大老(''tairô'')
English translations: senior counsellor, etc.
In 1598 [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] appointed five major lords as tairô to govern the country during the minority of his son [[Toyotomi Hideyori|Hideyori]]. The go-tairô 五大老 were headed by [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]].
During the Edo period, the tairô was the chief official under the shogun. The post was often unfilled, however. The most famous holder of the post was [[II Naosuke]].
