Majikina Ankô was among the first major historians of Okinawa in the modern period.
Born and raised in [[Shuri]], he was friends with [[Iha Fuyu]] since middle school; Iha would go on to become the "godfather" of Okinawan Studies.
He was a reporter for the ''[[Ryukyu shinpo|Ryûkyû Shimpô]]'', and worked for a time in the [[Okinawa Prefecture|Okinawa Prefectural Office]]. In 1925, he became the head of the prefectural library.
Majikina's research covered a wide range of topics, including history, performing arts, folk culture, and industry; his publications include ''Okinawa issennen shi'' ("Okinawa 1000 Years History") and ''Okinawa gendai shi'' ("Okinawa Modern History"). His works have been collected in a four-volume ''zenshû'' ("Complete Works").
[[Tomiyama Kazuyuki]] has identified Majikina's ''Okinawa issennen shi'' as the original source of the belief that [[Satsuma han]] mandated members of [[Ryukyuan embassies to Edo]] to dress in Chinese/foreign-style clothing.<ref>Tomiyama Kazuyuki 豊見山和行, "''Edo nobori kara Edo dachi he - Ryûkyû shisetsu zô no tenkai''" 「江戸上り」から「江戸立」へー琉球使節像の転回, in ''Ryûkyû shisetsu, Edo he iku!'' 琉球使節、江戸へ行く！, Okinawa Prefectural Museum (2009), 58-62.</ref>
