It looks like the gravestone for a man whose first name is Hayataro. Sorry that's the only part I can read for sure.

I can almost see the word Matsushima, which might possibly mean that he is originally from a town named that (which sadly are numerous).

This is just a shot but you may want to look at this list for a Hayataro Osumi.
