Eiji (Ryukyu)


Eiji was a chief of the Ryūkyū Islands. Born as the second son of King Taisei, his mother’s name was unknown.
He was the third ruler in the Eisō lineage of monarchs; that is, his grandfather was King Eiso and his father was King Taisei. The five years of Eiji's reign at Shuri were uneventful, but after his death, the island was split into three polities.
Eiji was the father of Tamagusuku, who would become the first monarch of the polity of Chūzan in central Okinawa.
