		Okubo was Japan's minister of Internal Affairs, both in RK history and actual history.
		Okubo is well-known as a good friend of Saigo Takamori, but possibly because of the bias Japanese people have toward Saigo, Okubo is thought to be a sly, cunning man…and Watsuki finds himself disappointed by this.
		During a time when many politicians conspired with the wealthy to enrich their own personal fortunes, Okubo was probably the most honest of them all…and he was still dubbed “Saigo’s murderer” and was hated by the people of his home prefecture, who refused to allow his remains to be intered there.

		Katsura, Okubo and Saigo didn't have a concrete plan to make this pseudo-democracy happen so they were at each other's throats and "set up a number of governmental organs that rose and fell in rapid succession." The highly visible emperor was used to cover up their backstage in-fighting.

		Especially Okubo was against Saigo, who had remained in Japan and had been in the center of the Japanese politics.
		On the other hand Okubo, under the influence of the speech of Bismarck, insisted that the power of the nation was more important than the education (Beasley 370).

		Okubo Toshimichi, the most powerful man in the Meiji government, was traveling along this road by coach on the morning of May 14, 1880.
		Okubo is famous as being a close friend of Saigou, but possibly because of the Japanese fondness for Saigou, Okubo is thought to be an evil man, sly and deceitful, which I think is too bad.
		It's true that Okubo was the one who made the plots of the Bakumatsu, but after the Restoration, he was above all an honest man, in national affairs unswayed by not only his own self-interest and greed, but his feelings as well (which is how he would sentence his close friend Saigou to death).
