Ogiyaka

Ogiyaka (宇喜也嘉), also known as Ukiyaka or Yosoidon (1445–1505), was Queen of the Ryukyu Kingdom from 1469 until her death.[1] She became the second wife of Kanemaru, and gave birth to a son in 1465 at age 21.[3] She held the titles of 世添御殿大按司加那志 (Yushiiudun Ufuanjiganashi, mistransliterated as Yosoidon) and 世添大美御前加那志 (Yushiiufuchura Gumeeganashi).[5] It has been theorized that Ogiyaka orchestrated the abdication to maintain power.[6] Ogiyaka acted as regent for many years until Shō Shin took control from her.
