Teruhiko Saigō (西郷 輝彦, Saigō Teruhiko, born February 5, 1947) is a Japanese singer and actor. As a singer, he is known as one of the three "Gosanke", referring to gosanke, the three great Tokugawa houses.
Saigō made his debut in 1964 with the song "Kimi Dake o", for which he won a Japan Record Award for best new artist.

As an actor, he has portrayed people as varied as 20th century Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka (in the 1983 film Shōsetsu Yoshida Gakkō) and 16th century samurai Katakura Kagetsuna (in the 1987 NHK Taiga drama Dokuganryū Masamune). A native of Kagoshima, he has played the roles of native sons such as Kuroda Kiyotaka and Saigō Tsugumichi, but his characters also include Tokugawa Ieyasu, Yagyū Jūbei and Hattori Hanzo. His roles in Chūshingura tales have included Mōri Koheita (1985).

Saigō has starred in various prime-time television series. These include Edo o Kiru, Genkurō Tabi Nikki Aoi no Abarenbō, Abare Hasshū Goyō Tabi, and Abare Isha Ranzan. NHK has tapped him for various Taiga drama roles as well. Among them are Mōri Hiromoto (in Mōri Motonari, 1997), Sanada Yukimura (Aoi Tokugawa Sandai, 2000), and Honda Masanobu (NHK's Taiga drama Musashi, 2003) in addition to Katakura Kagetsuna.

À la mort du second Shogun Tokugawa, les rivalités apparaissent pour sa succession. Le fils ainé du shogun, Iemitsu Tokugawa est laid et bégaie et semble manquer de charisme pour assumer cette tâche. La mère de celui, aidée du chancelier Doi, semble lui préférer son frère cadet Tadanaga. Mais le maître d'armes du Shogun, Tajima Yagyu, ainsi que plusieurs courtisans soutiennent Iemitsu. Chacun des camps parvient à convaincre son protégé de lutter pour succéder au Shogun. Enfin, les courtisans de l'Empereur cherchent à restaurer l'autorité de ce dernier. Les deux frères finissent donc par s'opposer dans une guerre mêlant batailles, intrigues et trahisons.
