“Let us celebrate the fact that we are all Uchinanchu. Let us celebrate and establish today, October 30, World Uchinanchu Day, and let us engrave it with pride on our Uchinanchu souls.” – Former Okinawa Governor Takeshi Onaga

Uchinanchu no Hi (Worldwide Uchinanchu Day) was established by Governor Takeshi Onaga at the 2016 Worldwide Uchinanchu Taikai to honor Okinawan heritage and the shared identity of Uchinanchu around the world.
