Kachiyacho was one of Kagoshima's samurai housing districts, in which many other influential figures of the Meiji period were born, such as Saigo Takamori and Okubo Toshimichi. They rose to prominent positions under the Meiji Emperor partly because the Satsuma clan had been a decisive military and political factor in the Boshin war against the Bakufu and the restoration of Imperial power.
