Mô Kôtaku was a [[scholar-aristocracy of Ryukyu|Ryukyuan scholar-official]] and court musician.

He was named to the ''[[koakukabe]]'' (novice musicians + pages) attached to the ''shichagui'' (lower throne room) of [[Shuri castle]] in [[1787]]; this was a standard entry position for young boys first entering the court. He was then promoted within the ''koakukabe'' to those attached to the palace "study" (''go-shoin'') in [[1791]], and was later named a ''gakushi'' (lead musician) for the [[1806]] [[Ryukyuan embassy to Edo]].
