Nakasone Tuimiya

Nakasone was the great-great-grandson of Meguro Mori who, in the 14th century, defeated the Yonahabara army under Sata Ubunto to unite the Miyako Islands for the first time.

[5] Shortly after these successful invasions which expanded the geographical scope of Miyako's political control, the islands came under attack from a force of roughly 3,000 Ryūkyūan soldiers sent by King Shō Shin to suppress the rebellion.

He is today worshipped and celebrated as a hero for having spared the people of Miyako from the death and destruction that would have resulted from attempts to resist the invasion.

[5] Nakasone was formally appointed Aji of Miyako by the Sanshikan,[3] which also began a system of sending representatives from Okinawa to help oversee the administration of this corner of the kingdom for three-year-long terms.

[5] Nakasone established a government office called the kuramoto[6] (蔵元) which oversaw the collection of contributions to the tribute payment to be sent to Shuri.
