Shô Toku was the seventh king of [[Kingdom of Ryukyu|Ryûkyû]], and the last of the First Shô Dynasty. He was the third son of King [[Sho Taikyu|Shô Taikyû]], who he succeeded in [[1461]].
The reign of Shô Toku is known primarily for the king's military adventures, chiefly the conquest in [[1465]] of [[Kikaigashima]], a nearby island which served no economic, political, or strategic purpose. This campaign saw the adoption of the ''mitsu-domoe'' banner of [[Hachiman]], commonly used by ''[[wako|wakô]]'' at the time, as the royal crest.
