Editing Tokugawa shogunate (section)

===San-bugyō===
The ''san-[[bugyō]]'' (三奉行 "three administrators") were the ''jisha'', ''kanjō'', and ''[[machi-bugyō]]'', which respectively oversaw [[Buddhist temples in Japan|temples]] and [[Shinto shrine|shrines]], accounting, and the cities. The ''[[jisha-bugyō]]'' had the highest status of the three. They oversaw the administration of Buddhist temples (''ji'') and Shinto shrines (''sha''), many of which held fiefs. Also, they heard lawsuits from several land holdings outside the eight [[Kantō region|Kantō]] provinces. The appointments normally went to ''daimyōs''; [[Ōoka Tadasuke]] was an exception, though he later became a ''daimyō''.{{citation needed|date=March 2020}}

The ''[[kanjō-bugyō]]'' were next in status. The four holders of this office reported to the ''rōjū''. They were responsible for the finances of the shogunate.<ref>{{harvnb|Nussbaum|2002|p=473}}</ref>

The ''machi-bugyō'' were the chief city administrators of Edo and other cities. Their roles included mayor, chief of the police (and, later, also of the fire department), and judge in criminal and civil matters not involving samurai. Two (briefly, three) men, normally hatamoto, held the office, and alternated by month.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Perez|first=Louis G.|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=uVWuDwAAQBAJ&q=machi-bugy%C5%8D+alternated&pg=PA23|title=Tokyo: Geography, History, and Culture|date=2019-09-19|publisher=ABC-CLIO|isbn=978-1-4408-6495-7|pages=23|language=en|access-date=2020-11-19|archive-date=2023-10-16|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231016114037/https://books.google.com/books?id=uVWuDwAAQBAJ&q=machi-bugy%C5%8D+alternated&pg=PA23|url-status=live}}</ref>

Three Edo ''machi bugyō'' have become famous through ''[[jidaigeki]]'' (period films): [[Ōoka Tadasuke]] and [[Tōyama Kagemoto]] (Kinshirō) as heroes, and [[Torii Yōzō]] ([[:ja:鳥居耀蔵]]) as a villain.{{citation needed|date=March 2020}}
