- Born: c. 1767-1768
- Died: 1790/10/13, Tomonoura
- Titles: 與世山親雲上 (Yoseyama peechin)

Yoseyama peechin Chôeki, also known by the Chinese-style name Shô Dôkyô, was a young Ryukyuan scholar-aristocrat, who served as a musician in the 1790 Ryukyuan embassy to Edo.
Dôkyô never reached Edo. When the Ryukyuan mission arrived in the port town of Tomonoura (near Hiroshima), on the evening of 1790/10/13, Dôkyô had already died of illness. He was 22 years old. He was buried the following morning at the temple Komatsu-ji in that town. His tombstone reads 「琉球司楽向生碑」.
Six years later, in 1796, his grandfather, Fukuyama Chôki, visited the temple and donated a plaque reading 「容顔如見」.
