Nakijin Chôgi, also known by the [[Ryukyuan names|Chinese-style name]] Shô Senbo, was a royal prince of the [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryûkyû Kingdom]]. He served as ''[[sessei]]'', and as lead envoy on the [[1752]] [[Ryukyuan embassy to Edo]].
Chôgi was the eldest son of scholar-aristocrat official [[Nakijin Choki|Nakijin ''anji'' Chôki]]<!--今帰仁按司朝季-->, and was thus the tenth generation head of the [[Gushikawa family]] branch of the [[Sho Dynasty|royal family]]. As such, his genealogical connection to the sitting king, or to the line of succession, was quite distant, his closest kingly relation being King [[Sho Shin|Shô Shin]], eleven generations back.<ref>Miyagi Eishô 宮城栄昌, ''Ryûkyû shisha no Edo nobori'' 琉球使者の江戸上り, Tokyo: Daiichi Shobô (1982), 43.</ref>
