Daughter of Misato Shī

or is the name under which the queen consort of the first king of the first Shō Dynasty, Shō Shishō, is known. She is mentioned under this name in the notes of the Chūzan Seifu, in the "information obtained through oral tradition" and in the Kyūyō. Her personal name, as well as her birth and death dates, are not given in the official sources of Ryūkyūan history (Chūzan Seikan, Chūzan Seifu…).

The location of Misato Shī’s residence is currently a sacred place inside Sashiki Gusuku.

Union with Shishō

, Shishō’s father, and Misato Shī are both vassals to , which explains the connexion between the two families. However, Misato Shī does not accept readily the union of his daughter with Shishō and Shō Hashi is born out of wedlocks. Local tradition says that, ashamed, the daughter of Misato Shī decides to abandon her illegitimate new born son in the cave. When, remorseful, she comes back to fetch him, she sees that a large white bird has kept the baby warm with its feathers and that a female dog has fed him. She comes back with the baby to her parents’, who finally accept the union with Shishō.

Her husband Shō Shishō and her first son Shō Hashi gradually enlarge their power around Sashiki in the southern part of the island (Kingdom of Nanzan) before they overturn the king of the Kingdom of Chūzan in the central part of the island. Shō Shishō becomes king of Chūzan in 1406 and reigns until his death in 1421, founding the first Shō Dynasty.
