*''Japanese/Chinese'': [[尚]]灝 ''(Shou Kou / Shàng Hào)''
King Shô Kô was king of the [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryûkyû Kingdom]] from [[1804]] until his death in [[1834]].
In [[1827]], he fell ill and requested from [[Satsuma han]] permission to abdicate in favor of his son. He received permission the following year, but retained the title of "king" until his death in 1834, while his son handled the business of the king but technically held the title of ''[[sessei]]'' until acceding to the throne in [[1835]] as King [[Sho Iku|Shô Iku]]. As a result of this unprecedented situation, the [[Ryukyuan embassy to Edo]] in association with Shô Iku's accession was held early, in [[1832]], and the ''fukushi'' (deputy envoy) on that mission, [[Takushi ueekata Ando]]<!--沢岻親方毛惟新安度--> presented gifts and formal regards from the retired Shô Kô to Shogun [[Tokugawa Ienari]].
