*''Titles: King of [[Kingdom of Ryukyu|Ryûkyû]] (1477)''
*''Japanese'': [[尚]]宣威 ''(Shou Sen'i)''
Shô Sen'i was a king of the [[Kingdom of Ryukyu|Kingdom of Ryûkyû]]. The younger brother of King [[Sho En|Shô En]], he inherited the throne in 1477 upon his brother's death.
His succession was a point of contention, as Shô En's wife, [[Yosoidon]], wished to see her son on the throne.
Shô Sen'i abdicated a mere six months into his reign, after the [[noro|chief priestess]], his niece, claimed to have had a vision suggesting this course of action. Shô Sen'i was succeeded by his nephew, [[Sho Shin|Shô Shin]], and died shortly afterwards.
