*''Japanese'': [[国場]] 公憲 ''(Kokuba Kouken)''
Kokuba Kôken was an Okinawan musician skilled in the ''[[uzagaku]]'' music of the [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryukyuan]] royal court.
Kokuba was a member of [[Kumemura]] aristocratic lineages. In 1913, he was interviewed by musicologist [[Yamauchi Seihin]], instructing Yamauchi in some of the musical pieces played in the royal court, and enabling Yamauchi to transcribe these into modern/Western musical notation. Yamauchi's written records of these songs are the only records known to be extant indicating not just the lyrics but the actual melodies of ''uzagaku'' court music.
