Yô Shun'ei was a [[Kingdom of Ryukyu|Ryukyuan]] scholar-bureaucrat known for his involvement in producing the first [[calendar in Ryukyu|calendar]] calculated and compiled in Ryûkyû, along with his older brother [[Yo Shunshi|Yô Shunshi]].

Shun'ei traveled to [[Fuzhou]] in [[1670]] to study calendrics alongside his older brother Shunshi, who had been in Fuzhou since [[1667]] and who had received permission from the [[Emperor of China|Qing emperor]] to produce a calendar. Shunshi died the following year, but Shun'ei continued his studies. After returning to Ryûkyû from Fuzhou, he calculated and compiled his calendar in [[1673]]. The following year ([[1674]]), woodblocks were cut, and copies were printed and distributed across the kingdom.
