Beppu Shinsuke (別府 晋介; 1847 – September 24, 1877) was a Japanese samurai of the late Edo period who fought for the Satsuma Domain at the Battle of Shiroyama.
Background
He was a samurai of the Satsuma Domain, and an associate of Saigō Takamori. Beppu joined Saigō's forces during the Satsuma Rebellion. At the end of the rebellion in September 24, 1877, it was Beppu who was the second at Saigō's seppuku. After Saigō's death, the vastly outnumbered Beppu and the other ex-samurais charged against the ranks of the attacking Imperial Japanese Army forces, and were killed.
