Changes

Born in [[1494]], Shô Ikô was for some reason in disfavor within the royal court or family by [[1501]], when he was still a young child. He was granted favor again and was named crown prince in [[1507]], but quickly afterward came under attack from his father's consort Kagô, who wished to see her own son succeed to the throne. By [[1509]], Kagô or her allies had convinced Shô Shin to order his son, the teenage Shô Ikô, executed. He somehow escaped execution but lived the remainder of his life in [[Urasoe]]. Meanwhile, Kagô's son was named crown prince in [[1508]] or [[1509]] and took the throne as King [[Sho Sei|Shô Sei]] upon their father's death in [[1526]].

Despite his disfavored relationship with the royal court, however, some of Shô Ikô's descendants managed to retain prominence and favor.
