Akazaki Kaimon, also known as Teikan, was an 18th century scholar of [[Confucianism]] and Chinese Studies (''[[kangaku]]'') in service to [[Satsuma han|Kagoshima domain]].
Born in [[1739]], he studied [[Neo-Confucianism]] under [[Yabu Kozan]] <!--藪孤山--> and [[Yamada Gessu]]<!--山田月洲-->. Originally known as Teikan, he took on the [[art-name]] (''gô'') of Kaimon. In [[1783]], he became an assistant teacher at the Kagoshima [[domain school]] [[Zoshikan|Zôshikan]], and after passing through official posts as Records Magistrate (''Kiroku bugyô'') and ''[[monogashira]]'', he was named a full instructor at the Zôshikan, with a rank of ''[[sobayaku]]''. He later became a Confucian instructor at the [[Shoheiko|Shôheikô]].
At one time, Akazaki was ordered by [[Shimazu Shigehide]], lord of Kagoshima, to travel to [[Edo]] and to speak with scholars there, in order to bring knowledge back to Kagoshima. In Edo, he developed friendships with [[Rai Shunsui]] and his son [[Rai Sanyo|Rai San'yô]], as well as [[Shibano Ritsuzan]] and other notable scholars of the time.
In [[1796]], he interviewed [[Kingdom of Ryukyu|Ryukyuan]] scholar-officials [[Tei Shokan|Tei Shôkan]], [[Sai Hokin|Sai Hôkin]], and other members of the [[1796]] [[Ryukyuan embassy to Edo]], at the orders of [[Shimazu Shigehide]], lord of Kagoshima. He then compiled what he learned from these interviews into a book titled ''[[Ryukaku danki|Ryûkaku danki]]'' ("Conversations with Ryukyuan Guests"), which was published the following year.
Akazaki also spent time in [[Kyoto]], where he studied Japanese calligraphy, ''[[waka]]'' poetry, and related subjects.
Kaimon died on [[1802]]/8/29.
