  • Japanese: 仲間満慶山英極 (Nakama Mitsukeima Eigyoku)

Nakama Mitsukeima Eigyoku was a local chief or power-holder in the Yaeyama Islands in the 15th century, during the period known as the "Era of Rival Chiefs." According to some legends, he was a descendant of Taira clan remnants, individuals who fled mainland Japan in the late 1180s or early 1190s after the Genpei War.
