Maekawa Chôyû was a [[scholar-aristocracy of Ryukyu|Ryukyuan scholar-official]] who served as a ''shisan'' on the [[1710]] [[Ryukyuan mission to Edo]].
He was a seventh-generation descendant of Prince [[Sho Iko|Urasoe Chôman]]<!--浦添王子朝満・尚維衡-->, eldest son of King [[Sho Shin|Shô Shin]], and was named ''[[jito (Ryukyu)|jitô]]'' of the Maekawa area of Tamagusuku ''[[magiri]]'' in [[1686]].
