Kawakami Gensai
Kawakami Gensai (河上彦斎, 4 December 1834 - 13 January 1871), was an imperialist (in favor of the emperor) and one of the four great Hitokiri (lit. "man-slayer") of the Bakumatsu period of 19th century Japan, and fought against the Western-accommodating Tokugawa shogunate in order to restore the Emperor to power and force all foreigners from Japan.
