King Shō Iku dispatched a gratitude envoy for his taking power to Edo, Japan in 1832. Prince Tomigusuku Chōshun and Ando was appointed as Envoy (正使, seishi) and Deputy Envoy (副使, fukushi) respectively. However, Prince Tomigusuku died in Kagoshima; Futenma Chōten (普天間 朝典, also known by Kanegusuku Chōten) served as the political decoy of the prince, took the title "Prince Tomigusuku", and went to Edo. They sailed back in the next year.[2]
