  • Japanese/Chinese: (Ou Mo / Wáng Mào)

Ô Mo, or Wang Mao, was a scholar-official of Chinese origin who served the Ryukyuan Court for many years.

Along with figures such as Lin You and Kaiki (C: Huaiji), he was one of a number of Chinese-born officials in Ryûkyû who received formal court robes from the Ming Court, honorarily recognizing him as a member of the ranks of the Ming bureaucracy.[1]

Later, in 1411, he was elevated to the position of Prime Minister (国相), and simultaneously to the post of changshi of the Right (右長史), with the approval of the Ming court.[2]
