It has been supposed that Uto Turret was removed from Uto to the Kumamoto Castle. But it is only a hypothesis. This study aims to clarify this assumption is not True, by the old literary documents. The Uto Turret was originally built by order of the feudal-lord Kiyomasa Kato in the Kumamoto Castle about A.D. 1602, not transferred from Uto. The name of Uto Turret was derived from the offices which installed in it and arround it. In these offices, Kato's feudal government controlled the vassals of ex-feudal-lord Yukinaga Konishi.
