Kanjō-bugyō (勘定奉行) were officials of the Tokugawa shogunate in Edo period Japan.
[1] Conventional interpretations have construed these Japanese titles as "commissioner" or "overseer" or "governor".
The office of kanjō-bugyō was created in 1787 to upgrade the status and authority of the pre-1787 finance chief (kanjō-gashira).
The number of kanjō bugyō varied, usually five or six in the late Tokugawa period.
In addition, there was an official of the accountant under the Kanjō bugyō, who was in charge of the duties.
