*Ryoma Sakamoto*
Born into a Tosa goshi family, he later left his domain to become a shishi (patriot). He played a crucial role in establishing the Satsuma-Choshu Alliance and the Taisei Hokan (restoration of imperial rule) during the late Edo period, greatly influencing the Meiji Restoration.
However, he met a tragic end, assassinated in the Omiya Incident just one month after the Taisei Hokan.
