*''Japanese'': [[金武]]良章 ''(Kin Ryoushou)''
Kin Ryôshô was a master of [[Ryukyuan dance]] and ''[[kumi odori]]''.
Born in [[Shuri]], he received training from Yomitanzan ''peechin'' and other masters who had served during the time of the [[Kingdom of Ryukyu|Ryûkyû Kingdom]], performing dance and theater to welcome [[Chinese investiture envoys]]. While ''kumi udui'' and Ryukyuan dance changed with the times in [[Okinawa prefecture|Okinawa]], Kin Ryôshô transmitted his teachings - an accurate recreation of "authentic" "traditional" court forms best as he could remember them - to students in Hawaii, who continue his legacy today.
