Tomigusuku Chôshun was a [[scholar-aristocracy of Ryukyu|Ryukyuan scholar-official]], who was appointed to serve as Lead Envoy (''seishi'') on a [[Ryukyuan mission to Edo]] in [[1832]]. Prince Tomigusuku died while in [[Kagoshima]], however, and was replaced as Lead Envoy by [[Futenma Choten|Futenma ''peechin'' Chôten]] (aka Shô Kan)<!--普天間親雲上向寛朝典-->, who then also took on the title of Prince Tomigusuku.<ref>Robert Sakai, “The Ryukyu (Liu-ch’iu) Islands as a Fief of Satsuma,” in John K. Fairbank, ''The Chinese World Order'', Harvard University Press (1968), 124.</ref>
Prince Tomigusuku was buried in Kagoshima, either at the [[Shimazu clan]] temple of [[Fukusho-ji|Fukushô-ji]], or at the Ryûkyû-associated temple [[Komyo-ji (Kagoshima)|Kômyô-ji]].<ref>A letter from Prince Tomigusuku's son [[Tomigusuku Choson|Tomigusuku ''aji'' Chôson]]<!--豊見城按司朝尊--> to Fukushô-ji, thanking the monks for their attention to his father's memory, would seem to suggest it was Fukushô-ji. However, Watanabe Miki has suggested he was buried at Kômyô-ji.
