*''Japanese/Chinese'': [[翁]] 寄松 ''(Ô Kishô / Wēng Jìsōng)''
Ô Kishô, or Wēng Jìsōng, was a [[scholar-aristocracy of Ryukyu|Ryukyuan scholar-bureaucrat]] and member of the [[Sanshikan]] - the top royal council in the [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryûkyû Kingdom]] - in the early years of the 17th century.
Though appointed to the Sanshikan in [[1601]], the highest position a scholar-aristocrat outside of the royal lineage could hope to attain, he was stripped not only of his post but also of his noble status in [[1605]] due to accusations by fellow court official [[Jana Teido|Jana Teidô]]. The content of these accusations is unclear, but it is presumed that this emerged out of political rivalry or factionalism rather than, necessarily, actual wrongdoing on Kishô's part. He was cleared of the accusations and restored to his position in [[1608]].
