Yoshimura Chōgi (prince)

Yoshimura Wōji Chōgi (義村 王子 朝宜, 12 August 1763 – 29 August 1821[1]), also known by his Chinese style name Shō Shū (尚 周), was a prince of Ryukyu Kingdom.

[2] Prince Yoshimura was the third son of King Shō Boku.

[1] He was given Katsuren magiri (勝連間切, modern part of Uruma) as his hereditary fief in 1771.

He was bestowed the title "Prince Yoshimura" instead of "Prince Katsuren" because the character "勝" (katsu, means "victory") was not allowed to use in name.

Prince Yoshimura served as sessei from 1798 to 1802.
