Portrait of Miura Goro who ordered the assassination of Korean Empress Myeongseong

Viscount Miura Goro (1847 - 1926) general in the Imperial Japanese Army. In 1895, Miura was appointed Japan's resident minister in Korea, succeeding Inoue Kaoru. Miura was increasingly concerned over growing Russian influence over the Korean government, and less than a month after his arrival in Korea, Empress Myeongseong ordered the disbanding of the Japanese-trained Hullyeondae militia. Miura then staged a counter-coup, assassinating the Empress; however, this plan backfired due to international outrage.
