[[File:Liang Kai - Li Bai.jpg|right|thumb|224px|Li Bai, as depicted by [[Southern Song Dynasty]] painter [[Liang Kai]]. [[Tokyo National Museum]].]]
*''Chinese/Japanese'': [[梁]]楷 ''(Liáng Kǎi / Ryoukai)''

Liang Kai was a member of the [[Southern Song Dynasty]] Imperial Painting Academy, holding the rank of ''daizhao'' (attendant-in-waiting).

Active in the 13th century, he is known especially for a portrait of [[Li Bai]] today in the collection of the [[Tokyo National Museum]]. A document asserting the authorship and authenticity of this painting was drafted by [[Kano Tsunenobu|Kanô Tsunenobu]] in [[1707]], who also inscribed the title and artist's name on a box the scroll is still associated with today.
