Marquess Ōkuma Shigenobu (大隈 重信, March 11, 1838 – January 10, 1922) was a Japanese politician who served as prime minister of Japan in 1898, and from 1914 to 1916. Born in the Saga Domain, Ōkuma was appointed minister of finance soon after the Meiji Restoration of 1868, aided by his friendship with genrō Inoue Kaoru. He unified the nation's currency and created the national mint before being dismissed in 1881 after a long series of disagreements with members of the Satsuma and Chōshū cliques in the Meiji oligarchy.
