*''Born: [[1869]]''
*''Died: [[1895]]/6/22''
*''Japanese'': 金華山 ''(Kinkazan)''
Kinkazan was the favorite horse of [[Emperor Meiji]]. His taxidermied body is on permanent display at the Meiji Memorial Picture Gallery, near [[Meiji Shrine]] in Tokyo.
Obtained in [[Miyagi prefecture]] in [[1876]] specifically for the Emperor, Kinkazan served Emperor Meiji on some 130 occasions between [[1880]] and the horse's death in [[1895]]. Though not possessing of a particularly beautiful coat or bone structure, Kinkazan is described as being self-possessed and alert, never shying from his duty, and remaining unfazed by, for example, gunshots fired as salutes at national ceremonies.
