Tanaka Shimbe



Tanaka Shimbe (田中 新兵衛 Tanaka Shimbē, 1832–July 11, 1863) was one of the four members of the hitokiri, elite samurai, active in Japan during the late Tokugawa shogunate in the 1860s. The hitokiri including Shimbe were working under the command of Takechi Hanpeita, the leader of the Loyalists of Tosa, who sought to overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate and restore the Emperor of Japan to power.
