*''Japanese'': 志魯・布里の乱 ''(Shiro Furi no ran)''
The Shiro Furi dispute was a succession dispute which took place in the [[Kingdom of Ryukyu|Kingdom of Ryûkyû]] in [[1453]]. Following the death of King [[Sho Kinpuku|Shô Kinpuku]], a dispute broke out between his younger brother [[Furi]] and son [[Shiro]] over the succession. The dispute resulted in the destruction of [[Shuri castle]], and the deaths of both claimants. Prince Goeku, a younger son of [[Sho Hashi|Shô Hashi]] (and thus younger brother to Furi, and uncle to Shiro), then took the throne as King [[Sho Taikyu|Shô Taikyû]].
The graves of Shiro and Furi can be found in Nanjô City, in the southern portion of [[Okinawa Island]].
