*''Japanese'': 渡嘉敷三良 ''(Tokashiki Sanra)''
Tokashiki Sanra was a potter and artisan of roof tiles originally from China and active in [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryûkyû]] in the late 16th and early 17th centuries.
Though his Chinese name is not known, he is believed to have come to Ryûkyû from China in the late 16th century, taking on the Ryukyuan name Tokashiki Sanra. He married a Ryukyuan woman and made his home in the village of Kokuba (today part of Naha City). It is said that he and his descendants played a key role in spreading the techniques of making roof tiles throughout the kingdom.
His tomb, in the Ryukyuan or Southern Chinese ''finchaa'' style, can be found in Midori-ga-oka Park, near Miebashi Station in Naha.
