Uchida Ryōgorō Shigeyoshi, was a Japanese jojutsu practitioner, ranked menkyo in the Japanese martial art of Shintō Musō-ryū. He is the creator of the gendai budo Uchida Ryu Tanjojutsu, originally known as Sutteki jutsu or "stick method".

Uchida Ryōgorō Shigeyoshi was born as Hiraoka Ryōgorō in 1837 to father Hiraoka Nisaburo. He was the eldest of six children. After Ryōgorōs 14th birthday he was adopted into the Uchida family and took on the Uchida family name. He was adopted due to a lack of an heir to the Uchida fmaily name.

Ryōgorōs biological father held a License of Total Transmission of the Haruyoshi-branch of the "The "New Just" Muso-ryu tradition". From an early age Ryōgorō showed an aptitude for martial arts and excelled in his studies. He trained in all of the arts a bushi was expected to learn which included horsemanship, bowmanship, gunnery, swordmanship, spear and a multitude of other weapons and skills.
