Kin Ryôshô was a master of Ryukyuan dance and kumi odori.
Born in Shuri, he received training from Yomitanzan peechin and other masters who had served during the time of the Ryûkyû Kingdom, performing dance and theater to welcome Chinese investiture envoys. While kumi udui and Ryukyuan dance changed with the times in Okinawa, Kin Ryôshô transmitted his teachings - an accurate recreation of "authentic" "traditional" court forms best as he could remember them - to students in Hawaii, who continue his legacy today.
