Kikoe-ōgimi (聞得大君/きこゑ大きみ, Okinawan: チフィジン, romanized: Chifi-ufujin) was the highest ranking noro priestess of the Ryukyuan religion during the period of the Ryukyu Kingdom. The position of kikoe-ōgimi was formally established during the reign of King Shō Shin (r. 1477–1526) in order to centralize the religious order. Only a royal woman could be appointed to the position of kikoe-ōgimi. After Ryukyu's annexation by Japan in 1879, this position was formally abolished, but the last kikoe-ōgimi continued her role until her death in 1944.
