Ebina Danjo (海老名 弾正) (September 18, 1856 – May 22, 1937)[1] was a Japanese educator and philosopher, as well as a Christian missionary and pastor.

Ebina was born on September 18, 1856, in Yanagawa Domain, Chikugo province (modern-day Fukuoka Prefecture).

In autumn of 1876, Ebina transferred to Doshisha University, where he studied under Joseph Hardy Neesima.

At Neesima's recommendation, in 1877 Ebina spent the summer in Annaka, Kozuke Province working as a missionary.

A couple years later, in 1886, he began preaching in Tokyo, and started the Hongo Congregational Church [ja].

Two days later, on November 25, the entire Board resigned, leaving Ebina with sole responsibility over the incident.
