Inagaki ManjiroInagaki Manjiro (稲垣 満次郎; born 1861; died 1908) was a Japanese diplomat. He was from the island of Hirado in Nagasaki prefecture. As a young man he was a warder of Satsuma men imprisoned in Nagasaki after the unsuccessful Satsuma Rebellion, and gained their respect and affection. Sent down from Tokyo University with many others after the Incident of 1883 when the student body rebelled, he never returned as most of the others did. Inagaki studied from January 1888 to December 1890 at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge and founded the Japanese Club at Cambridge University to study the ways of English gentlemen. He became a very popular figure at the University, especially with the Master of Pembroke College and Vice-Chancellor, the Reverend Dr Charles Edward Searle. After graduating he became Japan's first Minister Resident in Siam (now Thailand) on March 31, 1897. He became Minister Plenipotentiary on November 19, 1899, and continued in that role until July, 1907 when he was transferred to Spain. He wrote a number of scholarly books in English on international affairs, but died young. See also External Links
