Marquis Yamauchi Toyonori (山内豊範, May 12, 1846 – July 13, 1886) was the 16th and final daimyō of Tosa Domain in Shikoku, Japan (modern-day Kōchi Prefecture). Before the Meiji Restoration, his courtesy title was Sakone-no-shosho, and his Court rank was Junior Fourth Rank, Lower Grade.
Biography
Yamauchi Toyonori was the 14th son of Yamauchi Toyoshige, 12th daimyō of Tosa Domain.
In 1848, his elder brothers Yamauchi Toyoteru (13th daimyō) and Yamauchi Toyoatsu (14th daimyō) died of illness within a few months of one another.
At the time, Toyonori was only age three, so the clan elders decided to make his elder cousin, Yamauchi Toyoshige the 15th daimyō.
Yamauchi Toyoshige (also known as Yamauchi Yōdō) was forced into retirement in 1859 due to the Ansei Purge undertaken by the tairō Ii Naosuke, making Toyonori the 16th daimyō.
Yamauchi Yōdō continued to wield political power behind-the-scenes, especially after his ban was officially lifted in 1862, and Toyonori's hope of activity was severely limited. He was sent to Kyoto to guard the Imperial Palace in 1862.
In 1869, together with representatives from Satsuma Domain and Chōshū Domain, he officially returned the domain to the control of Emperor Meiji.
During the Boshin War, he sought a pardon for his father-in-law Uesugi Narinori of Yonezawa Domain.
After the Meiji Restoration and the abolition of the han system in 1871 he was active in Kochi Prefecture in the development of railroads and banks.
He received the peerage title of marquis under the kazoku peerage system in 1884. He died at the age of 41.
His eldest son, Yamauchi Toyokage inherited his title, and served in the Imperial Japanese Army during the Russo-Japanese War and subsequently as a member of the House of Peers.

Toyonori YAMAUCHI (May 12, 1846 – July 13, 1886) was a Daimyo (Japanese feudal lord) who lived during the end of the Edo Period. He was the sixteenth (last) lord of the Tosa Domain.
Marquess
He was the eleventh son of the twelfth lord Toyoshige YAMAUCHI. His lawful wife was a daughter of Nobuyuki MORI (third son of Narihito MORI) and his second wife was a daughter of Narinori UESUGI. His offspring include Toyokage YAMAUCHI (first son), Toyoshizu YAMAUCHI (third son), Toyonaka YAMAUCHI (fourth son) and a daughter (lawful wife of Masuteru OZEKI). He was a cousin of Sanetomi SANJYO. His childhood name was Kumagoro. Shikajiro. His Go (pseudonym) was Hoyo.
He was born on May 12, 1846. His elder brother Toyoteru YAMAUCHI (thirteenth lord), Toyoatsu YAMAUCHI (fourteenth lord) died in succession in 1848 and he was seen as the successor as a younger brother but since he was only 3 years old, Toyonobu (Yodo) YAMAUCHI, who was from a branch line, became the family head. Toyonobu was sent into early retirement as punishment during Naosuke II's Ansei no Taigoku (suppression of extremists by the Shogunate) on February 26, 1859 and Toyonori succeeded as family head and became the lord of domain.
However, Toyonobu was allowed out of his retirement in 1862 and Toyonori did not take active part in ruling because the actual power was placed in Toyobnobu's hands. He received an secret imperial command for police escort in Kyoto in 1862. Together with Satsuma and Chosu domains, he signed the return of lands and people to the emperor in 1869. He worked to get a pardon for his father-in-law, Narinori UESUGI of the Yonezawa Domain when he was being chased by the Imperial army, because of his commitment to the Boshin Civil War.
After Haihan-chiken (abolition of feudal domains and establishment of prefectures), he contributed to the establishment of railway and bank projects. He died on July 13, 1886, at 41 years of age. His grave is at Shinyo-ji Temple, Tenjin-cho, Kochi City, Kochi Prefecture. He was succeeded by his first son, Toyokage.
