Tei Genkin was a [[scholar-aristocracy of Ryukyu|Ryukyuan scholar-bureaucrat]] known for his skill at calligraphy. He was the eldest son of famed calligrapher [[Tei Kakun]], and is known in particular for his role in teaching calligraphy to the ''gakudôji'' of the [[1842]] [[Ryukyuan mission to Edo]], serving as a dedicated teacher to Kôchi ''satunushi'' and his family from [[1840]]/2 until 1842/5 for that purpose.
The following year, in [[1843]], he also taught Sakuma ''satunushi'', a ''gakudôji'' assigned to a mission to [[Kagoshima]], for four months.
His younger brother [[Tei Gen'i]] is also among Ryûkyû's most famous calligraphers.
