Nakano Giken was a [[Chinese language]] [[Nagasaki interpreters|interpreter from Nagasaki]] who taught spoken Chinese in the household of [[Makino Narisada]], lord of [[Sekiyado han]]. He is credited with being among those who taught Chinese to [[Ogyu Sorai|Ogyû Sorai]], and through Makino's connections with [[Yanagisawa Yoshiyasu]], Nakano too participated in Yoshiyasu and Sorai's Chinese-language salon.
Giken served Narisada from [[1684]] until his own death in [[1720]]; the only time he is believed to have been away from Narisada's service during this lengthy period was for some time in [[1705]], when Giken sojourned in Kyoto.<ref>Clements, 613.</ref>
