"We must reform, or die!"

In the Bakumatsu period, the 15th daimyō, Yamauchi Toyoshige (also known as Yamauchi Yodo) appointed Yoshida Tōyō to undertake major reforms; however, he was assassinated by reactionary followers of Takechi Hanpeita how were against modernization. Subsequently, Yamauchi Toyoshige took action against Takechi's "Tosa Kinnō-tō" party and suppressed the Sonnō Jōi movement in the domain.

Initially a strong supporter of the Kōbu gattai movement to join the shogunate with the Imperial House of Japan, he later led the domain into the Satchō Alliance and played a critical role in 1867 in advising Shōgun Tokugawa Yoshinobu to carry out Taisei Hōkan, and to the return of power to the Emperor. In 1868, Tosa Domain was renamed "Kōchi Domain", which after the abolition of the han system in 1871, became Kōchi Prefecture. The Yamauchi clan was elevated to the rank of marquis in the kazoku system by the Peerage Order of 1884

Reference, from the book "Japanese Uniforms 1841-1929" by Ritta Nakanishi (Lacked the Tosa except for the flagbearer, so I reused Chōshū uniform (well both are technically same albeit different kingire patches).
