Takechi Zuizan (武市瑞山), (October 24, 1829 – July 3, 1865), also known as Takechi Hanpeita (武市 半平太), was a samurai of Tosa Domain during the Bakumatsu period in Japan. Influenced by the effects of the Perry Expedition, Takechi formed the Tosa Kinnō-tō (土佐勤王党, Tosa Imperialism party) which was loyal to the ideals of the sonnō jōi movement. The Kinnō-tō killing of Yoshida Tōyō on 6 May 1862, led to sonnō jōi becoming the prevalent philosophy of Tosa Domain, but he was later imprisoned and forced to commit seppuku by the former daimyō of Tosa Domain Yamauchi Yōdō.
