Taisei (Ryukyu)
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Taisei (大成?, r. 1299-1309) was a king[1] of the Ryūkyū Islands.[2]
He was the second ruler in the Eisō lineage of monarchs; that is, his father was King Eisō and his son was King Eiji.[3] The years of Taisei's reign at Shuri were uneventful.
Taisei was the grandfather of Tamagusuku, who would become the first monarch of the kingdom of Chūzan in central Okinawa.[4]
