Taromai (Japanese他 鲁 毎; ryūkyūisch: Taromii or Tarumii, † 1429 in Okinawa ) was the fifth and last king of the Kingdom of Nanzan on Okinawa.

There are no reliable data about its birth and origin, but historical sources call him the eldest son of the third king, Ououso. Likewise, the exact date of his accession is unknown, however, lies at the latest in 1415, when a delegation from China arrived in Nanzan and officially recognized him as king. During his reign a total of eight tribute missions were sent to China for trade. In 1429, the northerly kingdom Chūzan used an internal weakness Nanzans and conquered the country. Different sources indicate that Taromai either the support of the people lost or there were quarrels among his sons and his potential successors.
