Chō Tsurahide

Chō Tsurahide (長 連豪, 1856 – July 27, 1878) was a samurai from Ishikawa Prefecture who was instrumental in the assassination of Ōkubo Toshimichi.[1]

In this Japanese name, the surname is Chō.

After Saigō Takamori began his uprising in Kagoshima Prefecture in 1877, Chō was among the first of the Kaga Domain (Kanazawa) figures to enact anti-Meiji plans.[2] He traveled twice to Kagoshima Prefecture to meet Saigō.[1]
