Apparently my mothers side is also related to Sakamoto Ryoma. I'm not sure if I believe my grandmother (Japanese side) but they don't like to talk about it and try to keep it a secret

there's an interesting story about this man. If I recall correctly, he always carried a pistol so that he could protect himself when being attacked. However, one day, he wasn't carrying a pistol, but instead he was carrying a book. When his subordinates asked him why was that, he answered that while carrying a pistol may help me to defend myself, reading a book may weaponize myself to defend myself.

I always hated history in school, it's nice to catch up on these subjects later with how interesting it actually is. I never heard of Sakamoto Ryoma, but now I did and I glad

Sakamoto Ryōma also scaped an assassination attempt a year before his actual death thanks to Narasaki Ryō who overheard the assassins outside the inn where she worked and Ryōma was staying the night. They scaped together and visited many hotsprings in Kagoshima prefecture that were believed to have healing properties and it is considered to be Japan's first honeymoon. They married afterwards.

So, I guess Sakamoto Ryoma is what westerners would call "A gentleman and a scholar"? I can see why he is a popular historical person.

The story of Sakamoto Ryoma must have inspired the Ryu Ga Gotoku studio to make Ryu Ga Gotoku Ishin, featuring a character that has a name named Sakamoto Ryoma, with many similarities in the game! Although the game never went outside of Japan, it would've gained more interest overseas to learn more about Sakamoto Ryoma.

I was thinking about the same. Although in game, Sakamoto and saitou has shown as the same person playing both people's role, while historically, they're different people who played two different roles. So, I think both sakamoto ryoma and saitou hajime are inspiration for ryu ga gotoku.

All Japanese people know that when they play That's how famous Shinsengumi and Ryoma Sakamoto are. It's like having ryu ga gotoku characters cast in a Shinsengumi movie. Japanese people see it that way.

Practically a decade ago from now I took a college course on modern Japanese history and learned about Sakamoto Ryoma and read a book about him for class, and he is also one of my main favorite Japanese historical person.

I actually never heard of this dude and have a very big interest in both history and historical figures, and have a great love of popular historical Japanese people. If you want to talk Japanese History with a global audience, I am totally down for this and would very much like to see you get around to the following people eventually; Ishikawa Goemon, Gozen Tomoe, Musashibo Benkei, Minamotos Yoshitsune, Yoritomo, Yoshinaka, and Yorimitsu, Oda Nobunaga, Masamune Date, Amakusa Shiro, Yagyu Jubei, and the blacksmiths Masamune and Muramasa.

Sakamoto Ryoma is one of the historical figures that I have deep respect to.. Thank you for covering his tale!!

I’m glad you finally made a video about this Japanese legend. Excellent video as always. ❤️

Actually, I think Himiko got super popular last year because of Fate's GudaGuda event that brought her into the game. She also broke a few sales records in jp due to that event.

Not a historic figure, but one of my all time favourite artists. 市川雷蔵, Gone but never forgotten.

Sakamodo Ryuma own swordsmanship well, that's too unfortunately he got assassinated while off his guard. He's a great legend.

Came for Tatsuma, stayed for Ryoma san. I wanted to know more about Sakamoto Ryoma only because of my love/crush for Sakamoto Tatsuma from Gintama. Im in love with his humble yet strong personality and hilarious laughter Edit : thanks for the video, Shogo san!

Really nice video. Funny, I first heard about Sakamoto Ryoma after watching "Girls und Panzer". In this anime there are four reki-jo, girls who love history and like dress up as their favourite historical figure. One of them is named after Narasaki Ryo, who worked at the Teradaya Inn in Kyoto, and warned Sakamoto Ryoma when she noticed some assasins coming to kill him. Sakamoto survived and they both got married.

I'm so happy to see a video about Ryoma! I've known and read all about him after learning about the version of him in Gintama. He definitely is one of the greatest reasons that the Meiji Restoration happened successfully, even though he was never considered one of the Three Great Nobles of it. Speaking of which, any interest on doing one on Katsura Kogorō? Keep up the great work as always!

My Japanese friend told me about the story of Ryoma and I love it. He was a real visionary and his thoughts were way ahead of his time.

I'm so excited to finally watch this video. I was playing a game with Sakamoto Ryoma as the main character and wanted to finish it without spoilers 😆

Love these topic and history videos! ありがとうございました、しょごさん！

Yo, Ishin was so popular they made the main character into a real person. That's so cool!

Thank you so much for making a video on my favourite historical person from Japan! Sakamoto Ryoma is actually the reason I really want to visit Shikoku and especially the Sakamoto Ryoma museum in Kochi prefecture. I'd also love to do the Shikoku temple pilgrimage one day so I can enjoy the natural landscapes there.

The first ime I heard about him was thanks to Fate Grand Order, he is a very lovely character alongside his wife Oryou, it is safe to say that both are my favorite couple in FGO and I do love to know their stories.

this explanation was detailed and very clear!! I knew about him but I really didn't know how much awesome this man

I love your videos Shogo. As a long time sumo fan I had dreamed of coming to Japan. With your videos it has taught me so much of your people and culture. Thank you Shogo.

Sounds like a great heroic adventure tale; that it is the real story of his life is even more amazing. Thanks for this video.

I literally cried my eyes out at the last episode when Iwasaki Yataro (Teruyuki Kagawa) confessed how Ryoma had influenced him throughout their long friendship after Ryoma was assassinated. It was then I became a fan of Kagawa.

I lived in Japan for seven years in the late 70s and early 80s trying to learn as much as I could about pre-20th century Japan from people as well as books but had never heard of Sakamoto Ryoma. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the NHK Taiga Drama "Ryomaden" when it debuted several years ago. It would be interesting to ponder what course Japanese history would have taken had he not been assassinated.
