Tameharu was the name of a man believed to have been the first Ryûkyû Kingdom official to administer Amami Ôshima for the kingdom. Little is known about him, except that he came from Okinawa Island, had a wife who was also Okinawan, took up his post on Amami as Sui-ufuyaku (J: Shuri ôyako) in 1506, and later died on Okinawa at the age of 61.
