Keraikedagusuku Yôcho is considered one of the great figures in the history of [[Iriomote-jima]]. He lived from roughly the mid-15th century to the early 16th century.
After defeating Kana ''[[anji]]'' of [[Ishigaki-jima]], he made an agreement with [[Naata Ufushu]] of that island. After the uprising of [[Oyake Akahachi]] was put down by royal forces, with the aid of Naata Ufushu and others, Keraikedagusuku was made governor (大屋子) of Iriomote, under the command of the [[Kingdom of Ryukyu|Kingdom of Ryûkyû]].
According to some traditions, he was said to also have been involved in trade with Europeans.
