, also known by his Chinese style name, was a prince of Ryukyu Kingdom.[1]
Prince Yoshimura was the third son of King Shō Boku. He was also a half-brother of Crown Prince Shō Tetsu and Prince Urasoe Chōō, and a full-brother of Prince Ginowan Chōshō.[2]
He was given Katsuren magiri (Japanese: 勝連間切, modern part of Uruma) as his hereditary fief in 1771. He was bestowed the title "Prince Yoshimura" instead of "Prince Katsuren" because the character "Japanese: 勝" (katsu, means "victory") was not allowed to use in name. Prince Yoshimura established a new royal family: Yoshimura Udun (Japanese: 義村御殿).
Prince Yoshimura served as sessei from 1798 to 1802.[3]
