*''Japanese'': 直 川智 ''(Sunao Kawachi)''
Sunao Kawachi was an individual from [[Amami Oshima|Amami Ôshima]] credited with introducing [[Ming dynasty]] [[sugar]] cultivation and processing techniques into Amami in [[1610]].
While traveling from Amami to [[Okinawa Island]], Sunao's ship encountered a typhoon and he became shipwrecked or castaway in [[Fujian province]], in southern mainland China. There, he learned about the cultivation of sugar cane, and techniques for processing it into sugar. Eventually returning to his hometown of Yamato-hama on Amami Ôshima, he introduced those techniques and is credited with initiating the sugar industry on Amami.
