*''Japanese/Okinawan'': 鬼大城 ''(Oni Oogusuku / Uni Ufugushiku)''
Oni Ôgusuku ([[Okinawan language]]: Uni Ufugushiku) was a [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryukyuan]] scholar-aristocrat, master fencer, and attendant to royal princess [[Momoto Fumiagari]], who he later married.
Momoto Fumiagari was a daughter of King [[Sho Taikyu|Shô Taikyû]], and wife of [[Amawari]], [[anji|lord]] of [[Katsuren gusuku]]. Uni served as one of the princess' attendants at Katsuren; when, in [[1458]], the two discovered that Amawari was plotting against the throne, they escaped and revealed his schemes to the Court. The affair ended later that same year in the fall of Katsuren, and Amawari's capture and execution, after which Uni Ufugushiku married the newly widowed princess.
[[Second Sho Dynasty|A new dynasty]] took the throne in [[1469]], however, and sometime shortly afterwards, as part of efforts to eliminate opposition from retainers potentially still loyal to [[First Sho Dynasty|the previous dynasty]], Uni was killed.
