Gen Teihô was a [[scholar-aristocracy of Ryukyu|Ryukyuan scholar-aristocrat]] who served a notable role in teaching and training musicians for various official court events.

Teihô studied in China as a young man, and then in [[1759]], he was appointed alongside [[Ryo Kokuen|Ryô Kokuen]] to serve as a master within the ''shoin'' of [[Shuri castle]], training pages (''koshô'') who were responsible for playing music, performing dances, and participating otherwise in a variety of court ceremonies.

In [[1767]], he was then asked by the lord of [[Satsuma han]] to come to [[Kagoshima]], to train the lord's own pages in Chinese and Ryukyuan music. Teihô thus traveled to Kagoshima alongside two Ryukyuan officials bearing the titles of Yoneji ''satunushi peechin'' and Kushi ''peechin'', where they served as music masters (''ongaku-shi'') for roughly half a year. During that time, they performed before the lord on a number of occasions, and were also called upon to entertain him by delivering talks in Mandarin Chinese.
