Shō Ten
Marquess Shō Ten (尚典, 2 September 1864 – 20 September 1920) was the last crown prince of the Ryukyu Kingdom (中城王子, Nakagusuku Ōji, lit. Prince of Nakagusuku). He lost that title upon the abolition of the kingdom and the forced abdication of the king, his father, Shō Tai, in 1879, and later succeeded to the title of Marquess (侯爵, kōshaku) in the kazoku peerage following his father's death in 1901.
