Shō Hashi (1372 – 1439) was a king of the Okinawan polity of Chūzan, traditionally described as the unifier of Okinawa and the founder of the Ryukyu Kingdom. He was the son of the lord Shō Shishō of the First Shō dynasty. Modern scholarship has connected Shishō's potential father, Samekawa, to a family of Southern Court-affiliated seafarers from southwestern Kyushu, where Hashi was possibly born.
