Kamekawa ''ueekata'' Seibu was a [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryukyuan]] scholar-official who served as a member of the [[Sanshikan]] in the early 1870s. He is known as a key figure in the opposition movement against the Japanese [[Ryukyu Shobun|abolition and annexation of the kingdom]].
Following the return to Ryûkyû of the [[1872]] embassy to [[Tokyo]], which returned with an imperial edict from the [[Meiji Emperor]] stating that King [[Sho Tai|Shô Tai]] was now to be regarded not as a ''kokuô'' (king of a country) but as a ''han'ô'' ("king" of a [[han|domain]]), Kamekawa led other officials in raising objections. He demanded an investigation into who was responsible for accepting this edict, and demanded the resignation of his fellow Sanshikan, deputy envoy on the Tokyo embassy, [[Giwan Choho|Giwan Chôho]].
Following the fall of the kingdom, Kamekawa continued to play a strong role in organizing and maintaining the opposition movement, as well as the faction which sought aid from the [[Qing Dynasty|Qing Empire]].
