Wikipedia definition
2. Ōshio Heihachirōwas a former yoriki (a low-ranking samurai police inspector for the magistrates) and a Neo-Confucianism scholar of the Ōyōmei (Wang Yangming) school in Osaka. He is best remembered for his fierce opposition to the Tokugawa shogunate. Ōshio served as a yoriki for much of his life, until he found the newly appointed head of Osaka bugyō (one of the shogun's officials; the city magistrate) so hopelessly corrupt, deciding to resign in 1830.
