- Japanese/Okinawan: 那覇里主 (Naha satonushi / Naafa satunushi)
The Naha satonushi was an official of the Ryûkyû Kingom, who oversaw the administration of the four districts of the port city of Naha: Higashi, Nishi, Izumisaki, and Wakasa.
In the 1870s, just prior to the abolition of the kingdom, the satonushi had more than ten officials under him, including the Naha ôyako (Naafa ufuyaku) and some number of secretaries (hissha).
