Nago Ryôhô was a [[Kingdom of Ryukyu|Ryukyuan]] scholar-official who served as a member of the [[Sanshikan]] (the top three royal advisors & administrators) alongside [[Tei Do|Tei Dô]] and [[Urasoe Choshi|Urasoe Chôshi]]. He is known for his role in resisting the [[1609]] [[Shimazu clan]] [[invasion of Ryukyu|invasion of Ryûkyû]].
Ryôhô was born in [[1551]], the second son of [[Nago Ryoin|Nago ''ueekata'' Ryôin]]. He is considered the third generation of the Ma lineage (Oroku house). Ryôhô traveled to China on at least one occasion, as head of a formal embassy in [[1579]]. He was named ''[[jito (Ryukyu)|sôjitô]]'' of Nago ''[[magiri]]'' in [[1592]], and was named to the Sanshikan at the same time.
In [[1609]], Ryôhô led a force of some 1,000 men from [[Shuri]] to aid in the defense of [[Nakijin gusuku]]. According to some accounts, Ryôhô lost half his force in a fierce battle on 1609/3/26; according to others, however, the Shimazu forces arrived at Nakijin to find the fortress abandoned. In any case, he was taken prisoner by the invading forces, but ultimately survived the invasion and capture to live until [[1617]].
