*''Japanese'': 鳥原宗安 ''(Torihara Souan)''
Torihara Sôan was a trader from [[Bonotsu|Bônotsu]] in [[Satsuma province]], who was sent to China in [[1600]] in an effort to establish normalized relations between the [[Tokugawa clan]] and the [[Ming Dynasty|Ming Court]].
Normally active in traveling to the [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryukyus]] to trade, Sôan, along with [[Mao Guoke]], a prisoner of war from [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]]'s [[Korean Invasions]] who he was to repatriate, departed the port of Bônotsu-no-tomari in 1600, bound for [[Fujian]]. His journeys appear in the ''[[Ming shi-lu]]'', and in the ''Liangchao pingrang lu''<!--両朝平攘録-->, which indicate that he may have reached Zhejiang first, and only then made his way to Fujian in order to set out once more for Japan.
