A native of [[Izumo province]] and interested in foreign trade, Kamei sought a coastal domain with good harbors, such as Izumo, as a reward for his aid against the Môri; unfortunately for him, Izumo had been given to the Môri as part of the truce arrangements. He then suggested that Hideyoshi grant him the [[Ryukyu Islands]], which Hideyoshi granted him on [[1582]]/6/8, despite wielding no actual control over or claim to the islands; according to a possibly apocryphal story, Hideyoshi inscribed "Lord of Ryukyu" on a paper fan and bestowed this upon Kamei. This fan was later found upon a wrecked Japanese warship by Korean warriors during Hideyoshi's [[Korean Invasions|invasions of Korea]].
