Biography

Early life

Haraguchi was born on 2 April 1847[1] to a samurai-class family in the Mori region of Bungo Province (in present-day Ōita Prefecture),[3] located on the island of Kyushu.

Military career

In 1870, Haraguchi entered the Imperial Japanese Army Academy to train as an officer, and in 1872 received a commission as a second lieutenant[3] or sub-lieutenant.[4] Later in his career, from August 1890 to April 1892,[1][5] he was dispatched to the German Empire to further his military education,[3] where he served from 1890 to 1891 under Prussian general Jakob Meckel in the 2nd Infantry Regiment stationed in Mainz.[1][5]

Haraguchi fought for the IJA in the Satsuma Rebellion, and later became a battalion commander, and then deputy head and, thereafter, principal of the Toyama Military School.[3][4] He served as chief of staff of the IJA 4th Division[4] at the end of the First Sino-Japanese War.[3] He promoted to major general in 1897[4] and, in succession, commanded the 20th Infantry Brigade, the 1st Mixed Brigade deployed in Taiwan (see Taiwan under Japanese rule), and the 17th Infantry Brigade.[3]

Following the Japanese occupation of Korea at the start of the Russo-Japanese War, Haraguchi commanded the newly established Korean Garrison Army from 11 March[6] to 8 September 1904, when he was replaced by field marshal Hasegawa Yoshimichi.[7] In July 1904, he declared martial law on key railroads and near telegraph lines in response to local unrest, writing the month prior to Minister of War Terauchi Masatake:[8]

Afterwards, he served in the Imperial General Headquarters as chief of staff of the Inspectorate General of Military Training.[3] He received a Palgwae royal medal in 1904.[2] In January 1905, he attained the rank of lieutenant general, and soon thereafter assumed command of the newly raised, 14,000-strong[9] IJA 13th Division, which he led during the invasion of Sakhalin.[3] For his successful service in the war, he was conferred the title of baron (danshaku) on 21 September 1907.[3][10]

Haraguchi continued to command the IJA 13th Division until 6 July 1906, when he was relieved by Seizō Okazaki.[11] Haraguchi transitioned to the IJA reserve forces in November 1907, and fully retired from military service in 1914.[3]

Later life

From 1910 to 1918, Haraguchi was a member of the House of Peers.[3] He died on 18 June 1919.[1]
