Troup leader
Do you have any context? It could be a name (Michinaga).
Note from asker:
| No, it's not a name. It's used as a suffix to a region in Indonesia. I like your "troup leader" suggestion. I also thought of "military governor" but i think "troup leader" it's better. Thanks! |

Discussion
隊長の間違いじゃないの。
When it's read "Dou-chou", it could possibly mean "head of a martial arts organization", but it sounds unfamiliar.
Either way, it also doesn't seem to be a place name.
A few more paragraphs before and after the term might help.
Which country? Is it prefecture, province, city/town, etc?
人名？地名？何ですか。
