Seii was the second king of the [[Okinawa]]n kingdom of [[Chuzan|Chûzan]]. He succeeded his father, [[Tamagusuku]], in 1336, at the age of ten. His reign is characterized by the meddling of his mother in government affairs, and her corruption. The king's mother took advantage of her privileges and position, and severely damaged popular support for her son.

In the wake of Seii's death in or around 1354, the Governor of [[Urasoe]], [[Satto]], seized power for himself.
