*''Japanese'': [[伊地知]]貞馨 ''(Ijichi Sadaka)''
Ijichi Sadaka was a [[Shimazu clan]] retainer prominent in negotiations surrounding the [[Ryukyu shobun|annexation]] of the [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryûkyû Kingdom]] and its new administration under the [[Meiji government]] in the 1870s.
In [[1871]]/12-[[1872]]/1, Ijichi accompanied [[Narahara Shigeru]] as leaders of an Imperial mission to [[Shuri]], to discuss the administration of the [[Ryukyu Islands|Ryûkyû Islands]] with the heads of the royal government there.
The following year (in [[1873]]), Ijichi compiled a history of the Ryukyus' relationship with Japan, from antiquity to the present. Entitled ''Ryûkyû hôhan jiryaku'' (琉球封藩事略), it covers both the [[Ryukyuan missions to Edo]] and the kingdom's [[tribute|tributary]] relationship with China, but subtly emphasizes Ryûkyû's relationship with "Japan," rather than with the Shimazu or the [[Tokugawa shogunate]], thus strengthening the Meiji government's claims to the islands.
