Sithu of Pinya (Burmese: စည်သူ, [sìθù]; also known as Myinsaing Sithu) was king of Pinya from 1340 to 1344.[1] The king is not mentioned in any of the royal chronicles. He only appears in a Pinya era inscription as King Myinsaing Sithu. Sithu, who according to the inscription succeeded Uzana I, may have been a caretaker for his nephew and son-in-law Kyawswa I of Pinya. Sithu's elder daughter Saw Gyi was married to Kyawswa I.[1]
The king was likely Kyawswa I's maternal uncle since Kyawswa I's father Thihathu had only two brothers, Athinhkaya and Yazathingyan, both of whom had already died.
