Yoshida Toyo

Yoshida Tōyō (吉田東洋, 1816 – 6 May 1862) was a Japanese samurai and Karō from Tosa domain. Gotō Shōjirō was his nephew-in-law.

In 1853, Toyo was appointed by the head of Tosa domain Yamanouchi Toyoshige to reform and modernize the domain.

He was assassinated on 6 May 1862 by three members of Tosa Kinnoto, a local political reform party.
