Eiji (Ryukyu)

Eiji (英慈, r. 1309-1314) was a king of the Ryūkyū Islands.

He was the third ruler in the Eisō lineage of monarchs; that is, his grandfather was King Eiso and his father was King Taisei. The five years of Eiji's reign at Shuri were uneventful, but after his death, the island was split into three kingdoms.

Eiji was the father of Tamagusuku, who would become the first monarch of the kingdom of Chūzan in central Okinawa.
