Tashiro Antei (1857-1928) was born into a samurai family in Satsuma, which was later to be designated Kagoshima prefecture.
Tashiro Antei, originally from Kagoshima prefecture, was the first Japanese Main Islander to explore Yaeyama with an interest in industrial development, and made proposals on the development of Yaeyama to the government. He was also the first Japanese mainlander to conduct systematic surveys of Yaeyama, and introduced it to Japanese during that time. His research reports on the region, which underpinned his policy proposals, also had a significant impact on Yaeyama Studies of later periods.
