Japanese: その内容は、八月十八日の政変後、京を追われた長州人らが六月下旬の強風の日を選んで御所に火を放ち、佐幕派公家の久邇宮朝彦親王を幽閉し京都守護職の松平容保以下佐幕派大名を殺害し、天皇を長州へ連れ去ろうとするものだった。
English: It was figured out that a number of patriots intending to execute the plan had gone to Kyoto and were hiding there, and that such supporters would soon gather in the town.
Japanese: すでに計画実行の志士が多数上洛、潜伏しており近々市中で同志の集会があることも判明。

English: It is also told that Sanjuro failed in conducting kaishaku (to assist someone in committing harakiri by beheading him) for a member, but this is not reliable because, according to the record, the member committed harakiri only after Sanjuro's death.
Japanese: 三十郎が隊士の切腹の際の介錯を失敗したと言う話も伝わるが、その隊士が切腹するのは記録では三十郎の死後の事であるため、信憑性は乏しい。

Japanese: 那須与一（なすのよいち、嘉応元年（1169年）？-没年不詳）は、平安時代末期の武将。
English: Usually, his real name is introduced as 'Munetaka NASU' (Munetaka in Heike Monogatari (The Tales of the Heike)), which is his first name, but it is said that since his accession to the position of family head he identified himself with his father's name, Suketaka.
Japanese: 一般的には本名は「那須宗隆」（平家物語では宗高）と紹介されることも多いが、これは初名であり、当主に就任後は父と同名の資隆と名乗ったと伝えられる。
English: The name NASU no Yoichi is not seen in Azuma Kagami (history book) and other historical materials of the period, so the assessment of Yoichi's performance relies heavily on the descriptions written in Heike Monogatari and Gempei-Josuiki as military epics (therefore, the existence of Yoichi has not been proved academically).
Japanese: 吾妻鏡など、同時代の史料には那須与一の名は見えないため、与一の事跡は軍記物語である平家物語や源平盛衰記に伝えるところが大きい（そのため、学問的には与一の実在すら立証できていない）。
English: Counting backward based on the descriptions of Heike Monogatari, he was born in or around 1169 (or 1166 or 1168).
Japanese: 平家物語の記述から逆算すると、1169年（あるいは1166年、1168年）頃に誕生した。

Japanese: 誕生地は当時の那須氏の居城神田城（現在の栃木県那須郡那珂川町(栃木県)）と推測されることが多い。
English: In the Battle of Yashima in 1185, his achievement was so great that, with a single arrow, he dropped a folding fan as an aim hoisted onto the Taira clan's gunsen (battleship); consequently, he was rewarded with manors in five Provinces, including Tanba Province and Shinano Province from MINAMOTO no Yoritomo (Goka-no-sho manor in Tanba Province, Togu-no-sho manor in Wakasa Province, Ota-no-sho manor in Musashi Province, Sasage-no-sho manor in Shinano Province and Ebara-no-sho manor in Shitsuki County in Bichu Province)
Japanese: 元暦2年（1185年）の屋島の戦いでは、平氏方の軍船に掲げられた扇子の的を射落とすなど功績を挙げ、源頼朝より丹波国・信濃国など五カ国に荘園を賜った（丹後国五賀荘・若狭国東宮荘・武蔵国太田荘・信濃国角豆荘・備中国後月郡荏原荘）。
English: Furthermore, since his nine older brothers (excluding Juro-Tametaka) supported the Taira clan, and because Tametaka was punished later, Yoichi took over the Nasu clan's family estate, though he was the eleventh son.
Japanese: また、十郎為隆を除く九人の兄達が、皆平氏に味方し、為隆ものちに罪を得たため、与一が十一男ながら那須氏の家督を継ぐ事となった。

Japanese: なお、「寛政重修諸家譜」では文治5年（1189年）8月8日死去、「続群書類従」では建久元年（1190年）10月死去とある。
English: Soon after his older brother, Sukeyuki NASU, took over the family estate, Yorisuke NASU, a blood child (though hearsay exists) of Tomotsuna UTSUNOMIYA, who served as a key lower-ranking vassal for the Kamakura shogunate, was adopted as Sukeyuki's son in order to take over the family estate; and Yorisuke's child was Mitsusuke NASU, who had played the role of hosting Ｙｏｒｉｔomo MINAMOTO in the Nasu Makigari (hunting technique) in 1193 (according to "Azuma Kagami" (history book)).
Japanese: 家督は兄の那須資之が継承したが、まもなく鎌倉幕府の有力御家人宇都宮朝綱の実子（異説もある）である那須頼資が資之の養子となり家督を継ぎ、その頼資の子が、建久4年（1193年）に源頼朝の那須巻狩の際にホスト役を務めた（『吾妻鏡』による）那須光資である。

English: There is another legend that when practicing archery at Nasu-dake (Mt. Nasudake) in 1180, they met MINAMOTO no Yoshitsune, who was visiting Nasu Onsen-jinja Shrine to pray for certain victory, and Yoichi's father Suketaka exchanged a promise that he would let Yoichi and his older brother Tametaka SENBON fight for the Genji clan.
Japanese: また、治承4年（1180年）、那須岳で弓の稽古をしていた時、那須温泉神社に必勝祈願に来た源義経に出会い、父・資隆が兄の千本為隆と与一を源氏方に従軍させる約束を交わしたという伝説がある。
