Shinagawa Tadamichi (品川忠道)
Shinagawa Tadamichi (品川忠道; December 19, 1841 - 1891) was a Japanese diplomat active in Japan and China during the second half of the 19th century. He was born in Nagasaki and began his career as a Dutch interpreter before entering the Ministry of Public Affairs. From August of 1872, he was Japan's first Consul-General in Shanghai, China. The Sino-Japanese Friendship Treaty (Sino-Japanese Amity Regulations) established formal diplomatic relations between China and Meiji Japan in 1871. One year later, on January 29 of 1872, the Meiji government opened an embassy in Beijing, and a consulate in Shanghai. Shinagawa Tadamichi was appointed to be the first Japanese Consul-General of Shanghai.
