Ryô Shô was a [[scholar-aristocracy of Ryukyu|Ryukyuan scholar-official]] who served, at times, as a master of Chinese music and dance, training other officials for roles in official court ritual performances.
He studied in China for three years, beginning at the age of 23. Shortly after his return to [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryûkyû]], Ryô Shô was appointed "master of Chinese dance" (''Tô-odori-shi''). At the age of 44 (in [[1789]]), he was assigned to train musicians who would travel to [[Edo]] the following year.
