Takehara Ueekata An'i (嵩原 親方 安依, 27 February 1651 – 27 October 1697), also known by his Chinese style name Mō Kenryū (毛 見龍), was a bureaucrat of Ryukyu Kingdom.

Takehara was a descendant of Aragusuku Anki. He was the third son of Aragusuku Anjū (新城 安充), and was the originator of an aristocrat family, Mō-uji Misato Dunchi (毛氏美里殿内).[1]

Takehara served as a member of sanshikan from 1690 to 1697.[2] He was appointed Kumejima kensha (久米島検者, "investigator of Kume Island") and sent to Kume Island in 1690, there he promulgated the memorandum, Kume-jima Kibochō (久米島規模帳). He was granted Misato magiri (美里間切, modern part of Okinawa, Okinawa) as his hereditary fief in 1697.[1]

Takehara was a son-in-law of King Shō Shitsu. He had two famous sons: the eldest son Misato Anman and the third son Tomoyose Anjō (友寄 安乗). One later became a member of sanshikan; the other plotted to overthrow Sai On together with Heshikiya Chōbin, and was executed by crucifixion.
