Kamiyama Seiryô was a 20th century government official and social activist.
Born in Tira-chô, [[Shuri]], [[Okinawa prefecture|Okinawa]], he attended [[University of Tokyo|Tokyo Imperial University]], graduating from the law school in [[1909]]. Two years later, he traveled to England with [[Kazoku|Marquis]] [[Sho Sho|Shô Shô]] to study politics and economics at Oxford University. Returning to Japan in 1915, he was granted a position in the [[Ministry of Finance]]. In 1931, he became head of the Nagoya Government Monopoly Office; he was reassigned to the equivalent Tokyo office the following year.
Kamiyama resigned from government service in 1936 and became the head of the [[Kyoto]] ''Okinawa kenjinkai'' (association of people from [[Okinawa prefecture]]), leading efforts to promote development in Okinawa. He later became head of the equivalent association in the Tokyo/Kantô area.
After the end of World War II, Kamiyama became the head of several different Okinawan associations, including the ''Okinawa sokoku fukki sokushin kyôgikai'' 沖縄祖国復帰促進協議会 (Council for the Advancement of the Reversion of Okinawa to the Home Country), contributing to negotiations with the national government to try to bring about the end of the Occupation in Okinawa and the reversion of Okinawa to inclusion within the Japanese state.
He died on Oct 12, 1978 at the age of 96.
