Urasoe Ueekata Ryōken (浦添 親方 良憲, ? – 4 November 1566), also known by Ufu Urasoe Ueekata (大浦添親方) and his Chinese style name Ba Ryōsen (馬 良詮), was a bureaucrat of Ryukyu Kingdom.[1]
Urasoe was the eldest son of Nukanakagusuku (糠中城), and was also a grandson of Yuwan Ufunushi. Urasoe was the adoptive father of King Shō Gen. He brought Shō Gen up and had close relationships with each other. After Aragusuku Anki retired, Urasoe was appointed as a member of Sanshikan.[2]
Urasoe was the originator of Ba-uji Oroku Dunchi (馬氏小禄殿内), which was one of the "Five Aristocratic Families" (五大名門) in Ryukyuan history.[3] He was buried in Miagemori (見上森陵) after he died. King Shō Gen attended his funeral. His eldest son, Nago Ryōin, succeeded his position.
