Born in [[Bitchu province|Bitchû province]], Rôro followed his father - a shogunate official - in moving to [[Osaka]], where he studied under [[Oshio Heihachiro|Ôshio Heihachirô]]. Later relocating to [[Edo]], he studied under [[Sakaya Seikei]]<!--昌谷精渓--> and [[Koga Toan|Koga Tôan]]<!--古賀侗庵-->, and began to earn his own literary fame.

At the age of 26, he returned home to Bitchû province, where he opened a school called Ôkeijuku<!--桜渓塾--> and began acquiring students. In [[1868]], he was invited to [[Hiroshima]] to teach there, and after three years in the service of the lord of [[Hiroshima han|Hiroshima]], he returned to [[Tokyo]]. He then went through positions in several government ministries, and opened a new school, but died of illness very shortly afterward, in [[1881]]. He is buried at [[Yanaka Cemetery]].
