, read variously as Haneji and Haniji, was a local ruler of Okinawa Island, who was given the title of King of Sanhoku. Very little is known about him. He first appeared in Chinese diplomatic records in 1383 and his last contact was of 1390. After that, Min appeared in the diplomatic arena in 1395.
His real name is unknown. The name Hanishi appears to be a corrupt form of Haneji (羽地), a settlement in northern Okinawa (part of modern-day Nago City). The name suggests some connection to the settlement, but it is not confirmed by contemporary sources.
