Romulus Hillsborough is a leading Western authority on the political upheaval and samurai of nineteenth-century Japan during the fall of the Tokugawa shogunate and the Meiji Restoration. His fascination with this period spans more than four decades, including sixteen years living in Japan, where he conducted original research and interviewed descendants of Bakumatsu-era figures. He is the author of several acclaimed books on nineteenth-century Japan, specializing on the Bakumatsu era, including Ryoma: Life of a Renaissance Samurai, Samurai Revolution, Samurai Assassins, and the forthcoming Samurai Swordsmen: The Definitive History of the Shinsengumi amid the Fall of the Tokugawa Shogunate. His books have been published in nine languages and have been praised for their narrative style, historical accuracy, and cultural insight. A lifelong practitioner of traditional Japanese martial arts, Hillsborough has trained in Shotokan karate for more than five decades under Tsutomu Ohshima, founder of Shotokan Karate of America and a direct student of Gichin Funakoshi, the father of modern karate.
