Shô Shitsu was the ninth king of the Second [[Sho Dynasty|Shô Dynasty]] of the [[Kingdom of Ryukyu|Kingdom of Ryûkyû]], ruling from [[1648]] to [[1668]]. His reign has been described as setting the foundations of the early modern order.
The fourth son of King [[Sho Ho|Shô Hô]], he succeeded his elder brother [[Sho Ken|Shô Ken]] to become king in 1648. He was the first Ryukyuan king to be formally recognized by the [[Qing Dynasty]], after his son Crown Prince [[Sho Tei|Shô Tei]] traveled to China in [[1654]] and turned over the kingdom's [[Ming Dynasty]] royal seal, receiving a new seal from the Qing. He later became the first king to receive a formal [[Chinese investiture mission]] from the Qing, in [[1663]]. The adoption of Qing music into Ryukyuan court music is traced to this occasion.<ref>Dana Masayuki 田名真之, "Bunken shiryô ni mieru uzagaku" “文献資料に見る御座楽,” in Uzagaku no fukugen ni mukete, p8.</ref>
Shô Shitsu appointed [[Sho Shoken|Shô Shôken]] as ''[[sessei]]''. His queen was named [[Hakuso|Hakusô]].
Upon his death, Shô Shitsu was succeeded by his eldest son, who took the throne as Shô Tei. His other children included [[Sho Koki|Shô Kôki]]<!--尚弘毅-->, [[Sho Konin|Shô Kônin]]<!--尚弘仁-->, [[Sho Kosai|Shô Kôsai]]<!--尚弘才-->, [[Sho Kotoku|Shô Kôtoku]]<!--尚弘徳-->, [[Sho Koshin|Shô Kôshin]]<!--尚弘信-->, and [[Sho Kozen|Shô Kôzen]]<!--尚弘善-->.
