Tosa

Tosa () is a district that is featured in Ryu Ga Gotoku Ishin!. It is located on the south coast of Japan's Shikoku island. The area represented in-game corresponds to the present day city of Kōchi, Kōchi Prefecture, as the city's castle is adjacent to the area.
==History==
During the Bakumatsu period, the time Ryu Ga Gotoku Ishin! is set, Tosa District was the capital of Tosa Province. This province had political jurisdiction over the whole of Shikoku.
===Ryu Ga Gotoku Ishin!===
At the start of Ryu Ga Gotoku Ishin!, Sakamoto Ryoma is residing in Tosa. He is thrown in jail for starting a fight with higher-ranked Joshi samurai, and his execution seems imminent before his father figure and prominent local politician Yoshida Toyo secures his release. Later on, Toyo, Ryoma, and Takechi Hanpeita raid Kochi Castle to take back control of Tosa for the Tosa Loyalist Party, but Toyo is killed by a masked assassin. The fallout from his death causes Ryoma to leave for Kyoto.
During the finale of Ryu Ga Gotoku Ishin!, Ryoma, now a Shinsengumi captain, returns to Tosa with comrades Okita Soji, Nagakura Shinpachi, and Hijikata Toshizo. They find the city has become a giant fortress in anticipation of an upcoming British invasion. A fleet of British ships under the command of Thomas Glover has docked in Tosa with weapons and equipment to assist Yamauchi Yodo in his ambitions to turn Japan into a British colony. After defeating Glover and all the other men in the fortified district, Yodo begs Ryoma for his life, offering the whole of Tosa Province in return. Ryoma however declines by way of slashing Yodo dead with his sword.
