Oroku Ueekata Ryōchū (小禄 親方 良忠, b. 27 June 1819), also known by the Chinese-style name Ba Kokushō (馬 克承), was a bureaucrat of the Ryukyu Kingdom.[1]
Ryōchū was born to an aristocrat family called Ba-uji Oroku Dunchi (馬氏小禄殿内). He was the 12th head of Oroku Dunchi, and his father Oroku Ryōkyō, was a Sanshikan during Shō Iku's reign.[2]
Oroku Ryōchū was selected as a member of Ie Island and imprisoned at a temple for 500 days, while Makishi was sentenced to exile to Yaeyama for ten years and Onga to Kume Island for six years, respectively.[3] This incident was known as Makishi Onga Incident (牧志恩河事件).[4]
