Shō Shishō
Shō Shishō (尚思紹, r. 1407–1421), also known as Talumei,[1] was a king of Chūzan, one of three kingdoms on the island of Okinawa, before they were united into one island kingdom. He was the progenitor of what became the Shō Dynasty.
The son of Shishō was Shō Hashi, who is known as the first king of the Ryūkyū Kingdom. His kingship was acknowledged by the Yongle Emperor of China, who caused a diplomatic mission to be sent to the Ryukyuan capital in 1415.[1]
