Kin Ryôshô was a master of Ryukyuan dance and kumi odori.
Born in Shuri, the son of Kin Ryôjin, he received training from Yomitanzan peechin and other masters who had served during the time of the Ryûkyû Kingdom, performing dance and theater to welcome Chinese investiture envoys.

He was named a Living National Treasure for his role as a bearer of this traditional knowledge.
