Ôshio Heihachirô was a low-ranking samurai who led a significant uprising or revolt in [[Osaka]] in [[1837]].
A low-ranking official within the Osaka city government, Ôshio had been educated in a particular strain of Confucian thought that emphasized righteous individual action. Outraged by the shogunate's failures to provide for people during the [[Tenpo famine|Tenpô famine]] in 1837, he led a large number of Osaka townspeople in an uprising. Fully one-quarter of the city was destroyed before the rebellion was suppressed by the authorities. Ôshio was killed in the process.
