*''Japanese/Chinese'': [[金]]應元 ''(Kin Ougen / Jīn Yīngyuán)''
Kin Ôgen was a [[Kingdom of Ryukyu|Ryukyuan]] scholar-bureaucrat, known for his mission to China in [[1644]] to announce the death of King [[Sho Ho|Shô Hô]], and to request [[Chinese investiture envoys|investiture]] for Shô Hô's successor, King [[Sho Ken|Shô Ken]].
Kin arrived in China just as the [[Ming Dynasty]] was falling. The [[Prince of Fu]] had set himself up in [[Nanjing]] as the Hongguang Emperor, and received Kin. Informed of Huanggong's recent accession to the throne, Ryûkyû then sent another envoy, [[Mo Daiyo|Mô Daiyô]]<!--毛大用-->, as leader of a congratulatory (''qinghe'') mission. Kin remained in China until [[1646]], when he returned home to Ryûkyû.
