Shô Hiroshi was a great-grandson of [[Sho Tai|Shô Tai]], the last king of the [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryûkyû Kingdom]], and was head of the [[Sho dynasty|Shô family]] for most of his life, following the death in 1923 of his father, [[Sho Sho|Shô Shô]].

In the postwar period, Shô Hiroshi played a key role in keeping and sharing the Shô family's treasures; a large collection of historical documents held today by the [[University of Tokyo]] [[Shiryohensanjo|Historiographical Institute]] related to the Shô family and former Ryukyuan royal court are labeled as being from Shô Hiroshi's collection.
