Kunigami Seiya, also known as Kunjan ''anji'', was a scholar-official in the [[government of the Ryukyu Kingdom|government of the Ryûkyû Kingdom]]. He was the [[jito|lord]] of the entire ''[[magiri]]'' of [[Kunigami]] (O: ''Kunjan'').
He inherited the title from his father [[Kunigami Seiei]]<!--国頭正影--> in [[1609]], becoming the sixth generation head of the Ba family to be Kunjan ''anji''.
In [[1614]], Seiya was sent to [[Kagoshima]] as a [[hostage]]<!--国質-->, where he remained until 1616. With the permission of ''daimyô'' [[Shimazu Iehisa]], he joined the Satsuma forces deployed to take part in the [[1615]] [[Osaka Summer Campaign]].
