Sai Hôkin was a Ryukyuan scholar-official who traveled to Beijing and Edo on several occasions. He served as a musician on the 1790 Ryukyuan mission to Edo, and as a student or other low-ranking member of a mission to Beijing that same year.
He traveled to Edo again as a member of the 1796 mission, and was interviewed in Edo, alongside Tei Shôkan, by Akazaki Kaimon, regarding their experiences in China. These conversations were then published as Ryûkaku danki, and remain a notable source for historians today investigating Ryûkyû-China-Japan relations.
