Hayashi Ryūkō (林 榴岡, 1681 December 11, 1758) was a Japanese Neo-Confucian scholar, teacher and administrator in the system of higher education maintained by the Tokugawa bakufu during the Edo period. He was a member of the Hayashi clan of Confucian scholars.

Academician

Hōkō was the fourth Hayashi clan Daigaku-no-kami of the Edo period.

Hōkō is known as the second official rector of the Shōhei-kō.[1] This academy would come to be known as the Yushima Seidō) . This institution stood at the apex of the country-wide educational and training system which was created and maintained by the Tokugawa shogunate. Ryūkō's hereditary title was Daigaku-no-kami, which, in the context of the Tokugawa shogunate hierarchy, effectively translates as "head of the state university".[2]
