The warlord Saitō Dōsan, who started out in various occupations, was a peddler of this type of oil, rather than the more familiar rapeseed oil, according to a story by historical novelist Ryōtarō Shiba.

One of his first moves was to launch the League of Diet Members Believing the Objectives of the Holy War to counter opposition from politicians such as deputy Saitō Takao who had spoken against the Second Sino-Japanese War in the Diet on 2 February.

However, on April 16, 1914, Saitō was forced to resign from his post as Navy Minister due implications of his involvement in the Siemens scandal, and officially entered the reserves.

In 1927, Saitō was a member of the Japanese delegation at the Geneva Naval Conference on Disarmament, and he later became a privy councillor.

He survived, but from this point on the Saitō clan were no longer a significant faction in the power struggles of the Sengoku period.

The soldiers succeeded in killing Saitō in spite of the resistance of the policemen on guard.

2nd Lieutenants Takahashi Tarō and Yasuda Yutaka led their troops to attack Jōtarō, after the attack on Saitō.

Saitō was considered to be on the same level as the first troop captain Okita Sōji and the second troop captain Nagakura Shinpachi.

In the records listing the Aizu men detained in Takada, Saitō is on record as Ichinose Denpachi.

Saitō was overall commander of all Japanese forces on Saipan, although he had no actual combat experience, and was not even actually the senior Japanese officer on the island.

Admiral Chuichi Nagumo, commander of the Central Pacific Area Fleet was also on the island, and was consulted frequently by Saitō.

On the fate of the remaining civilians on the island, Saitō said, " There is no longer any distinction between civilians and troops.

Saitō, wounded by shrapnel, committed ritual suicide in a cave at dawn on 10 July, with his adjutant shooting him in the head after he had disemboweled himself.

Saitō continued to be an important figure in politics as Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal from December 26, 1935 but was assassinated during the February 26 Incident of 1936 at his home in Yotsuya, Tokyo.

Hitohiro Saito ( 斎藤 仁弘 Saitō Hitohiro, born 12 February 1957 in Iwama ) is an aikido instructor and founding headmaster of Iwama Shin-Shin Aiki Shuren-kai.

Even though Nobuyuki and his supporters were still at large, Nobunaga decided to bring an army to Mino Province to aid Saitō Dōsan after Dōsan's son, Saitō Yoshitatsu, turned against him.

Nobunaga married Nōhime, the daughter of Saitō Dōsan, as a matter of political strategy ; however, she bore him no children and was considered to be barren.

In 1564 he managed to convince, mostly with liberal bribes, a number of Mino warlords to desert the Saitō clan.

Hideyoshi approached many Saitō clan samurai and convinced them to submit to Nobunaga, including the Saitō clan's strategist, Takenaka Shigeharu.

Tamaki Saitō describes the modern shotacon dōjinshi community as having largely formed in the early 1980s and having a roughly even split between males and females.

Saitō suggests that shotacon was originally an offshoot of yaoi, but when adopted by male readers became influenced by lolicon ; thus, he claims " shota texts by female yaoi authors are structurally identical to yaoi texts, while shota by male otaku clearly position these little boys as young girls with penises.

The lower officials of the shogunate and ronin ( Late Hōjō, Saitō ), provincial officials ( Kitabatake ), and kuge ( Tosa Ichijō ) also gave rise to sengoku daimyo.

As the head of the Oda clan, Nobuhide was involved in open warfare as he was fronted to the north by Saitō Dōsan, daimyo of Mino Province, and to the east by Imagawa Yoshimoto, the daimyo of Mikawa, Suruga, and Tōtōmi provinces.

In 1549, Nobuhide made peace with Saitō Dōsan by arranging a political marriage between his eldest son, Nobunaga, and Saitō's daughter, Nōhime.

For support, Nobunaga was left with Hirate Masahide and his father-in-law Saitō Dōsan, whom he had never met before.

Ironically, Saitō Dōsan fell in a coup d ' état led by his own son Saitō Yoshitatsu in 1556.

Around 1555, rumors began to circulate that Saitō Yoshitatsu was not in fact Dōsan's son ; it was said that he was Yorinari's.

A further idea is that Saitō Yoshitatsu just elected to usurp his father's power.

Saitō Dōsan is known for having a large number of pseudonyms and for frequently changing his name.

Some believe that this is because there were two Saitō Dōsan, father and son, and the son adopted his father's name after his death.
