Biography

Katsu Isaburō was born in Nagato Province in Chōshū Domain, under the tenure of Governor-General Terauchi Masatake and Hasegawa Yoshimichi. Although considered to be the leading candidate to replace Hasegawa, Yamagata was removed from office during the government reorganization following the March 1 Movement in 1919. He subsequently served as Governor-General of Kwantung Leased Territory from May 1920 to September 1922.
In February 1922, after the death of his foster-father Yamagata Aritomo, he inherited the kazoku title of kōshaku. In January 1925, he sent to French Indochina as head of a special mission. Yamagata served on the Privy Council until his death in 1927.
