*''Japanese'': 熊野伝吉 ''(Kumano no Denkichi)''
Denkichi was a [[Bakumatsu]] era castaway who later became a Japanese-English interpreter in the service of the British legation in Japan.
Denkichi was a member of the crew of the merchant ship ''[[Eirikimaru]]'' when the ship became caught in a storm and thrown adrift on [[1850]]/10/29. After 53 days adrift, the crew were rescued by the American merchant ship ''[[Aukland]]''; on [[1851]]/2/3 (March 5), the rescued castaways came ashore at San Francisco.
By [[1859]], Denkichi had become an interpreter in service to British consul [[Rutherford Alcock]]. He was killed by anti-foreign rebels on [[1860]]/1/7.
