Tazato Anshû was a [[scholar-aristocracy of Ryukyu|scholar-bureaucrat]] of the [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryûkyû Kingdom]]. He served as ''sangikan'' on the [[1790]] [[Ryukyuan embassy to Edo]], and was later named to the [[Sanshikan]].

Anshû was an 11th generation descendant of [[Aragusuku Anki|Mô Ryûken Aragusuku ''ueekata'' Anki]]<!--毛龍喧(新城親方安基-->, whose son [[Ikegusuku Anto|Ikegusuku Antô]]<!--池城安棟--> and grandson [[Ikegusuku Anrai]]<!--池城安頼--> both served as members of the Sanshikan.

On the way back from [[Edo]] in [[1791]], Tazato's ship was blown off-course and he became castaway in the [[Kerama Islands]], just a short distance from [[Okinawa Island]], before being able to return fully home. He later served as envoy to China and to [[Satsuma han]], and in [[1799]], when [[Kochi Ryotoku|Kôchi ''ueekata'' Ryôtoku]] died, Tazato was appointed to the Sanshikan himself, being renamed Takebaru ''ueekata'' Anshû.
