According to Louis-Frédéric, Eisō (with a macron), also known as Yingzu in Chinese, was "king of the Ryūkyū Islands in the thirteenth century, succeeding Yoshimoto. He was a member of the Tenson family." . -- see Nussbaum, Louis-Frédéric. (2002). Japan Encyclopedia, p. 172., p. 172, at Google Books

• FYI: Yoshimoto, also known as Yiben in Chinese, is the Japanese name for the Ryukyuan sovereign who was the grandson and successor of Shunten. Yoshimoto abdicated in favor of Eisō. -- see Nussbaum, p. 1062., p. 1062, at Google Books

I modified the first paragraph and the succession box -- changing from "King of Okinawa" to "King of Ryukyu Islands" because of this reliable source. --Tenmei (talk) 08:15, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
