John William Fenton (March 12, 1828 April 28, 1890) was an Irish musician, the leader of a military band in Japan at the start of the Meiji period. He is considered "the first bandmaster in Japan" and "the father of band music in Japan." Fenton is best known for having initiated the process through which Kimi ga yo came to be accepted as the national anthem of Japan. Fenton is considered Scottish in Scotland; but he is also considered Irish because he was born in Kinsale, County Cork in Ireland in 1828. journalistic writing on Fenton typically considers him a Briton. Fenton, bandmaster of Britain's 10th Foot Regiment (later re-named Royal Lincolnshire Regiment), 1st Battalion, arrived in Japan in 1868. The regiment had been sent to protect the small foreign community in Yokohama during the transitional period at the end of the Tokugawa shogunate and the early years of the Meiji restoration.
