Gi Gakugen was a [[scholar-aristocracy of Ryukyu|Ryukyuan scholar-official]] who traveled to China on several occasions.

Originally from [[Kumemura]], he first traveled to China in [[1815]] as a student, where he was noted for his successes in studying the legal volumes known as the ''[[Da qin lu li|Da-qing lü li]]''<!--大清律例-->. In [[1831]], he edited or compiled a Ryukyuan legal text, the ''[[Shinshu karitsu|Shinshû karitsu]]''<!--新集科律-->, an addition to the earlier ''[[Ryukyu karitsu|Ryûkyû karitsu]]''.

Gi traveled to China again in [[1838]], and produced the ''Fukken shinkyô suiriku rotei'', a particularly detailed account of the route traveled by [[Ryukyuan tribute missions to China]].
