Following Tamaudun's completion, Shô En's remains were moved there from a site called Miagemori (見上森), where he had been originally entombed. Every King of Ryûkyû from Shô En onwards is entombed at Tamaudun, with one exception. [[Sho Nei|Shô Nei]] (r. [[1587]]-[[1620]]) requested to be buried elsewhere, allegedly because he felt he had dishonored his ancestors by allowing Ryûkyû to fall to [[invasion of Ryukyu|Japanese invasion]] in [[1609]]. Shô Nei was instead entombed at [[Urasoe yodore|Urasoe yôdore]] alongside [[Eiso]] and two other 13th-14th century kings of Okinawa.
