Ōzato Wōji Chōkyō (大里 王子 朝教, 21 January 1816 – ?) also known by his Chinese style name Shō Ton (尚 惇), was a prince of Ryukyu Kingdom.[1]
Prince Ōzato was the third son of King Shō Kō, and was a half-brother of King Shō Iku. He was given Ōzato magiri (mordern part of Nanjō), and established a new royal family: Ōzato Udun (大里御殿).[2]
He served as sessei from 1852 to 1861. In 1859, Makishi Chōchū, Onga Chōkō, Oroku Ryōchū and Prince Tamagawa Chōtatsu were involved in illegal matter (Makishi Onga Incident), and Prince Ie Chōchoku was appointed as judge to interrogate them. Prince Ōzato supported Prince Ie to convict them.[1]
After this incident, Prince Ōzato retired in 1861. His position turned to Yonagusuku Chōki.[3][4]
