The Governor-General of Chōsen was the chief administrator of the Japanese colonial government in Korea from 1910 to 1945.
Upon the annexation of Korea to Japanese Empire, he became the governor-general.
There were ten governors-general, while eight individuals served in this position.
Saitō Makoto and Ugaki Kazushige both served two nonconsecutive terms as governor-general.
Thus, Minami Jirō, Koiso Kuniaki, and Abe Nobuyuki were respectively the eight, ninth, and tenth governors-general, but they were respectively the sixth, seventh, and eight individuals to serve as governors-general.
