*''Chinese/Japanese'': [[楊]] 載 ''(Yáng Zài / Yô Sai)''
Yáng Zài was a [[Ming dynasty|Ming]] official who in [[1369]] led the second mission to demand [[tribute]] from Japan, and in [[1372]] the first mission to demand tribute from the [[Ryukyu Islands|Ryukyuan]] kingdom of [[Chuzan|Chûzan]].
After arriving in [[Dazaifu]] in 1369 and meeting with [[Prince Kanenaga]], Yáng was imprisoned for three months while five of his men were beheaded. Yáng was eventually permitted to return safely to China, and a new mission, this time led by an official named [[Zhao Zhi|Zhào Zhì]], traveled to Dazaifu and was ultimately successful in convincing Prince Kanenaga to begin sending tribute missions, to quell the ''[[wako|wakô]]'', and to take on the title of [[King of Japan]].
Yáng was then dispatched in 1372 to [[Okinawa Island|Ryûkyû]], where he secured the beginning of tributary relations between the Ryukyuan kingdom of Chûzan and the Ming court.
