*''Japanese'': 為吉 ''(Tameyoshi)''
Tameyoshi was a late 16th century [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryûkyû Kingdom]] official from [[Amami Oshima|Amami Ôshima]].
Adopted by [[Tameaki]], the third generation head of a lineage overseeing portions of Amami as officials in service to the Ryukyuan royal court, Tameyoshi traveled to [[Okinawa Island]] in his youth to request recognition as his father's successor. The royal court at [[Shuri]] granted him this, and a yellow ''[[hachimaki]]'' court cap as marker of his status.
Leaving Okinawa to return to Amami Ôshima, however, Tameyoshi was presumably lost in a storm or otherwise lost at sea and there is no further record of him. An official named [[Tamekoro]] is identified in the records as his legitimate son, and followed after his predecessors in the lineage, studying at Shuri and then returning to Amami to take up an official post.
