Ba Shôkô was a [[scholar-aristocracy of Ryukyu|Ryukyuan scholar-aristocrat]] who served as a performer on two [[Ryukyuan missions to Edo]], in [[1832]] and [[1842]], as well as for the reception of a [[Chinese investiture mission]] to [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryûkyû]] in [[1838]].

He first traveled to [[Edo]] as a teenager, in 1832. According to some sources, he seems to have been regarded as the most talented of the ''gakudôji'' on that mission, and played quite a number of instruments, including ''[[dongxiao]]'' and other flutes, ''[[pipa]]'', ''[[sanxian]]'', and ''[[sanshin]]'' in ''[[uzagaku]]'' (chamber music) performances. At that time, his aristocratic title was Hamamoto ''satunushi''.

Hamamoto was then promoted to the rank of ''satunushi peechin'' after his service on the Edo mission, and participated as a dancer in entertainments for the 1838 investiture mission. Promoted again to Hamamoto ''peechin'', he then served as ''gakushi'' on the 1842 mission to Edo, accompanying and overseeing the new generation of teenage ''gakudôji''.
