Talk:Gihon (Ryukyu)

King of Ryukyu Islands
According to Louis-Frédéric, Eisō 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).
 * 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,

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) 08:18, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
