Maekawa Chôyû was a [[scholar-aristocracy of Ryukyu|Ryukyuan scholar-official]] who served as a ''shisan'' on the [[1710]] [[Ryukyuan mission to Edo]].<br />
<br />
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]].<br />
<br />
In [[1705]], he was elevated to high enough [[Ryukyuan court ranks|rank]] to be permitted to wear a purple [[hachimaki|court cap]]. A portrait of him painted that same year by [[Go Shiken]]<!--呉師虔 aka 山口宗季--> appears in [[Kamakura Yoshitaro|Kamakura Yoshitarô's]] 1982 book ''Okinawa bunka no ihô''.<br />
