That idea was originally.

"Tokugawa returns regime to the emperor.
And Tokugawa will be mere one lord.
Tokugawa become mere one lord，but maximum lord in Japan.
And we freed from obligation to govern the country.
This way is best for Tokugawa."
Long before，Okubo of Tokugawa's minister said so.
(Of course he is another person of Okubo of Satsuma.)
As a result，he was laughed from the surrounding people.

He was also the person who picked Katsu at first like a katsu for Sakamoto.
　
・・・・・・・・・　

"Tokugawa returns regime to the emperor.
And Tokugawa will be mere one lord.
Satsuma is trying that take regime from Tokugawa by armed.
But Japan today is not a situation that can be civil war.
Will returns regime from Tokugawa to Emperor.
By doing so，Satsuma lose the chance of war.　
This opinion should to Tosa's opinion.

Tosa was late to tendency of the times.
However，by doing so，Tosa can stand on top of the tendency of the times."
And now，Sakamoto told this opinions to Goto.
　
・・・・・・・・・

Later this policy was realize.

"Because Yoshinobu was intelligent.
This policy is not realize without him."
Goto said so.

By the way，when Yoshinobu became king.


"I will become the head of Tokugawa clan.
However，I will not become at the top of the government of Japan.
I think of the current situation of Japan，Japan is the need to change the system."
At first he said so.
It was of course rejected by Tokugawa regime.　

Yoshinobu - Okubo(Tokugawa's minister) - Katsu - Sakamoto.

"Japan today is not a situation that can be civil war.”
There might be a line of such intention.
