Bai Izen was the eighth head of the [[Bai family]] of the [[scholar-aristocracy of Ryukyu|scholar-aristocracy]] of [[Naha]].
The second son of seventh family head [[Bai Ien]], he was named heir in [[1854]], at the age of 13, when his elder brother Bai Ikyô passed away. The following year, he took his first official position, as junior secretary (''waka hissha'') in the ''[[Oyamise]]'', a position he held for 13 months. He had his coming of age ceremony at the end of that term, in [[1856]], and in [[1862]], at the age of 21, was promoted to secretary in the ''Oyamise'', along with the rank of ''chikudun zashiki'' and the title of Takazato ''chikudun''.
His first son was born on [[1865]]/10/9, and was named Ijutsu. His second son, Ikô, was born on [[1869]]/12/29.
In [[1873]], Izen's father, Bai Ien, was named ''[[jito (Ryukyu)|jitô]]'' of Fukuji village in Kyan ''[[magiri]]'', and took the title of Fukuji ''peechin''; in conjunction with this, Bai Izen became Fukuji ''chikudun peechin''. While the [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryûkyû Kingdom]] was [[Ryukyu shobun|dismantled]] over the course of the 1870s, much of the local administrative structures, aristocratic titles, and so forth were permitted to remain in place, under the policy of ''[[kyukan onzon|kyûkan onzon]]''; it is unclear how this might have affected, for example, the Bai family.
Upon his father's death in [[1881]], Bai Izen became head of the family.
