[[File:Suzuki-kiyosuke.jpg|right|thumb|320px|Suzuki Kiyosuke's grave, in [[Sakura (city)|Sakura]], Chiba]]
*''Born: [[1860]]/4/28''
*''Died: [[1890]]/4/4''
*''Japanese'': 鈴木清助 ''(Suzuki Kiyosuke)''
Kiyosuke was born the 4th son of local elite Suzuki Hane'emon. As a youth, he studied at the Kayama School (today, Sakura High School), subjects including Confucianism, swimming, swordsmanship, and ''[[jiujitsu]]''. He was particularly involved in ''Yôshin-ryû jiu-jitsu'', and was known as one of the four ''[[Shitenno|Shitennô]]'' of the [[Totsuka]] students.
In [[1882]],11, at the age of 22, he became a [[Chiba prefecture]] patrolman. Then, in [[1888]]/12, he came to work at the Sakura City Police Station. On [[1890]]/4/4, while serving as an escort for funds from the National Treasury, there was an armed robbery, and he was shot. Though his wound was fatal, he did his job and apprehended the criminal before succumbing to his wounds. He was posthumously named patrol captain, and received posthumous awards from the prefectural governor. His grave in [[Sakura (city)|Sakura]], Chiba, continues to be marked today with a plaque explaining his biography and accomplishments.
