Nakasone was succeeded as Chieftain of Miyako around 1530, by someone bearing the same name as his great-great-grandfather, Meguro Mori. His grave can be found in Hirara City on Miyako Island, alongside the graves of his third son [[Chirimara Toyomiya]], and their second wives (J: ''keishitsu'', [[Ryukyuan languages|Miyako]]: ''atonma'').<ref>Andreas Quast, "[http://ryukyu-bugei.com/?p=2758 The three Toyomiya tombs on Miyako Island]," Ryukyu-Bugei, 27 Feb 2015.</ref>

He was succeeded as chief of Miyako by his son [[Kanamori]], who is described in official Ryûkyû Kingdom histories as having "'violated the law and destroyed the basis' for his ruling Miyako." By the time Shuri's agents arrived in Miyako to chastise Kanamori, however, he had already passed away. Shuri's agents then seized much of his wealth, as well as his two daughters; a later attempt to return the daughters safely to Miyako went awry, resulting in their deaths. One of Nakasone's younger sons, [[Makarigane]], meanwhile, set himself up as a local lord in the [[Yaeyama Islands]], but was also deemed by Shuri to be cruel and oppressive, and was forcibly removed from authority and sent back to Miyako.<ref>Gregory Smits, ''Maritime Ryukyu'', University of Hawaii Press (2019), 170.</ref>
