- Japanese/Chinese: 王 茂 (Ou Mo / Wáng Mào)
Ô Mo, or Wang Mao, was a scholar-official of Chinese origin who served the Ryukyuan Court for many years.
Along with figures such as Lin You and Kaiki (C: Huaiji), he was one of a number of Chinese-born officials in Ryûkyû who received formal court robes from the Ming Court, honorarily recognizing him as a member of the ranks of the Ming bureaucracy.[1]
Later, in 1411, he was elevated to the position of Prime Minister (国相), and simultaneously to the post of changshi of the Right (右長史), with the approval of the Ming court.[2]
