Little is known about this figure, who held the title of ''anji'' (roughly, "lord") of Gushikawa. He may have been a ''[[wako|wakô]]'' lord of the Kawara lineage, of some relation to [[Oyake Akahachi]] (Honkawara) of [[Ishigaki Island]], who fought Shô Shin's forces in [[1500]]. Based at [[Gushikawa gusuku (Kume)|Gushikawa gusuku]] and controlling the nearby harbor of Yamato-domari as well as some or all of Kume's roughly thirteen [[iron]]-working centers, Gushikawa would have been a power in the region indeed.
