*''Died: [[1671]]/8''
*''Japanese/Chinese'': [[楊]] 春枝 ''(Yô Shunki / Yáng Chūnzhī)''
Yô Shunki was a [[Kingdom of Ryukyu|Ryukyuan]] scholar-bureaucrat known for his involvement in producing the first [[calendar in Ryukyu|calendar]] calculated and compiled in Ryûkyû, along with his younger brother [[Yo Shunei|Yô Shun'ei]].
Shunki first began studying calendrics in [[1665]]; he then traveled to [[Fuzhou]] in [[1667]] to continue that study. He received permission from the [[Emperor of China|Qing emperor]] in [[1670]] to produce a calendar; his younger brother Yô Shun'ei arrived in Fuzhou that same year, and the two began to study together.
Yô Shunki died in [[1671]]/8, but his brother Yô Shun'ei continued his studies, and produced in [[1673]] the first calendar compiled by a Ryukyuan individual. The following year ([[1674]]), woodblocks were cut, and copies were printed and distributed across the kingdom.
