Nanzan, sometimes called Sannan, was one of three kingdoms which controlled [[Okinawa]] in the 14th century. Based at Ôzato, it controlled the southern part of the island, the kingdoms of [[Hokuzan]] and [[Chuzan|Chûzan]] controlling the northern and central regions respectively. Okinawa, previously controlled by a number of local chieftains or lords, loosely bound by a paramount chieftain or king of the entire island, split into these three more solidly defined kingdoms within a few years after [[1314]]; the [[Sanzan period]] thus began, and would end roughly one hundred years later, when Chûzan's King [[Sho Hashi|Shô Hashi]]<ref>Technically, Hashi's father [[Sho Shisho|Shô Shishô]] was king of Chûzan in 1419, and neither was called "Shô" until that name was granted them by the [[Ming Dynasty|Ming court]] in 1421.</ref> conquered [[Hokuzan]] in [[1419]] and Nanzan in [[1429]].
