Misato ''ueekata'' Ankô was a [[scholar-aristocracy of Ryukyu|Ryukyuan scholar-aristocrat]] who served as ''gakudôji'' on the [[1842]] [[Ryukyuan embassy to Edo]].

He was a descendant of [[Mo Ryuken|Aragusuku ''ueekata'' Mô Ryûken]]<!--新城親方毛龍喧-->, and member of the esteemed Mô lineage of arts experts. He served as a dancer for the reception of [[Chinese investiture envoys]] in [[1837]], at age 10, and in [[1839]] was appointed to serve as ''gakudôji'' (musician & dancer) on the 1842 mission to Edo. At that time, his title was Takebaru ''satunushi''. A fan inscribed with his calligraphy is still held today by the ''[[honjin]]'' at [[Futagawa-juku]], a post-station in [[Aichi prefecture]].<ref>''Shirarezaru Ryûkyû shisetsu'' 知られざる琉球使節 (Fukuyama, Hiroshima: Fukuyama-shi Tomonoura rekishi minzoku shiryôkan, 2006), 64-65.</ref>
