  • Japanese: 光地 (Ryou Kouchi)

Ryô Kôchi served as a musician on the 1806 Ryukyuan mission to Edo.

A piece of his calligraphy, copied onto a wooden plaque (hengaku) by the Japanese haikai poet Kurita Chodô, can be found today in the main hall (hondô) at Manshû-ji in the Inland Sea port town of Mitarai (today, part of Kure City, Hiroshima prefecture).[1]
