Marshal-Admiral Marquis Togo Heihachiro, OM, GCVO ((?????; 27 January 1848 – 30 May 1934), was a gensui or admiral of the fleet in the Imperial Japanese Navy and one of Japan's greatest naval heroes

During the Russo-Japanese War, Togo engaged the Russian navy at Port Arthur and the Yellow Sea in 1904, and destroyed the Russian Baltic Fleet at the Battle of Tsushima in 1905, a battle which shocked the world. Tsushima had broken the Russian strength in East Asia, and is said to have triggered various uprisings in the Russian Navy (1905 uprisings in Vladivostok and the Battleship Potemkin uprising), contributing to the Russian Revolution of 1905. Togo was termed by Western journalists  'The Nelson of the East', after the British admiral who defeated the French and Spanish at Trafalgar.
