[[File:Shinohara.jpg|right|thumb|400px|Shinohara's grave at the [[Nanshu Cemetery|Nanshû Cemetery]] in [[Kagoshima]]]]
*''Died: [[1877]]''
*''Japanese'': 篠原国幹 ''(Shinohara Kunimoto)''
Shinohara Kunimoto was a prominent military commander in [[Bakumatsu period|Bakumatsu]] and early [[Meiji period]] [[Kagoshima]]. The head of the [[Satsuma Army Cadet School]] and gunnery instructor at [[Satsuma han|Satsuma's]] [[Shigakko|Shigakkô]], he is often considered one of the most prominent commanders in the [[Satsuma Rebellion]], along with [[Kirino Toshiaki]].
He was named Major General (''Rikugun shôshô'') in the [[Imperial Japanese Army]], and commander of the Imperial Guards in [[1872]]. He resigned from the military a year later, however, and returned to Kagoshima, where he began teaching at the Shigakkô (a private military academy).
During the Satsuma Rebellion, Shinohara commanded the largest of the troop contingents, and is particularly known for leading troops in the battle of Kichiji Pass, on May 4, [[1877]]. He was killed in battle later in the rebellion, at the age of 42, and is buried in the [[Nanshu Cemetery|Nanshû Cemetery]] in Kagoshima.
