*''Japanese'': [[荒尾]] 成允 ''(Arao Shigemasa)''
Arao Shigemasa was a [[Tokugawa shogunate]] official who served as [[Nagasaki bugyo|Nagasaki bugyô]] from [[1854]] until XX.
Arao was promoted from ''koshô kashiratori'' to ''[[metsuke]]'' in [[1852]]. The following year, he was assigned alongside [[Kawaji Toshiakira]], [[Koga Masaru]], and [[Tsutsui Masanori]] to serve as a reception officer (''[[osetsukakari|ôsetsukakari]]'') for the Russian embassy and was dispatched to [[Nagasaki]] to meet with an embassy led by [[Yevfimy Vasilyevich Putyatin]]. While the others were later reassigned to other positions, Arao was assigned in [[1853]] to remain on-duty in Nagasaki; the following year he was named ''kaibô kakari'' (official overseeing coastal defense), and then a month later Nagasaki bugyô.
