Shō Toku (尚 徳, 1441–1469) was the son ofShō Taikyū and last king of theFirst Shō Dynasty. He came to power as a young man in a kingdom whose treasury had been depleted. He engaged in efforts to conquer islands between Ryukyu and Japan and took theMitsudomoe, the symbol ofHachiman, as his banner to emphasize his martial spirit. In 1466, he led an invasion onKikai Island, which strained the Ryukyuan treasury with little benefit.^[2] He either died young or was possibly killed by forces within the kingdom as details are somewhat unclear.^[3] As is common for rulers who preside over the end of a dynasty, moralists portrayed him as cruel, violent, and lacking in virtue.^[4]
