Shô Eki was king of the Ryûkyû Kingdom from 1709 until 1712.

In 1710, he created the government office of sanshin-uchi to oversee construction of high-quality sanshin for the court's use.[1]

Shô Eki died in 1712. He was entombed in the royal mausolea at Tamaudun alongside his queen, Konkô, and his royal ancestors. After his death, Shô Eki was succeeded as king by his eldest son, who took the throne as Shô Kei.
