*''Japanese/Chinese'': 懐機 ''(Kaiki / Huai ji)''
Kaiki (C: Huaiji) was a Chinese-born official in the [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryukyuan Court]], known for having designed the [[Chokotei|Chôkôtei]] embankment connecting [[Naha]] to the "mainland" of [[Okinawa Island]], as well as sections of the outer gardens of [[Shuri castle]], including the [[Ryutan|Ryûtan]] pond & gardens. The latter were one of several key areas used for receiving and entertaining [[Chinese investiture envoys]] to the kingdom.
Huaiji came to Ryûkyû from [[Fujian]] during the reign of King [[Sho Shisho|Shô Shishô]] ([[1406]]-[[1421]]). He served under four kings: [[Sho Hashi|Shô Hashi]], [[Sho Chu|Shô Chû]], [[Sho Shitatsu|Shô Shitatsu]], and [[Sho Kinpuku|Shô Kinpuku]].
