*''Japanese'': 大和横目 ''(yamato yokome)''
The ''Yamato yokome'' was an official position within the ''[[zaiban bugyo|zaiban bugyôsho]]'', the [[Satsuma han]] office which oversaw Satsuma business in the [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryûkyû Kingdom]].
The position was originally filled by a samurai official from Satsuma, but later came to be filled instead by a Ryukyuan member of the [[Scholar-aristocracy of Ryukyu|scholar-aristocracy]] of [[Naha]]. The ''Yamato yokome'' helped oversee ships and shipping in Naha harbor, and served the ''zaiban bugyô'' in a variety of ways. In the later period, when this position was held by a Ryukyuan official, he also oversaw the dispatching of officials to [[Kumejima]] and elsewhere in conjunction with the kingdom's reception of [[Chinese investiture envoys]].
