Champloo in Samurai Champloo comes from our “campur”

Recall History lesson when Melaka Sultanate had diplomatic relationships with Ryukyu Kingdom? That's Okinawa Prefecture today.

Ryukyuans really got the short end of the stick. They became vassals to a Japanese daimyo (a local domain lord) which is one step below the Shogun. It means the Shogun bosses the daimyos, and the Satsuma daimyo bosses the entire Ryukyu Kingdom. They're so low on the runk that it's not uncommon for slaves to own Ryukyuan slaves. Yes, slaves owning slaves.
