*''Japanese'': 家老 ''(karou)''
''Karô'', sometimes translated as "House Elders," were among the highest-ranking advisors and officials under an [[Edo period]] ''[[daimyo|daimyô]]''. Holding a position within the [[han|domains]] roughly equivalent to that of the ''[[Roju|Rôjû]]'' ("Elders") within the [[Tokugawa shogunate]], they played a central role in governance and administration, often acting in place of the ''daimyô'' in various contexts.
The ''karô'' of the three [[Gosanke]] [[Tokugawa clan]] houses, known as ''tsukegarô'' ("attached Elders"), were in [[1850]] granted status equivalent to lower-ranking ''daimyô''.<ref>Ishin Shiryô Kôyô 維新史料綱要, vol 1 (1937), 281.</ref>
