Takehara Ueekata An'i (嵩かさみ原げん 親方おやかた 安やす依よ, 27 February 1651 – 27 October 1697), also known by his Chinese style name Mō Kenryū (毛け 見み龍りゅう), was a bureaucrat of Ryukyu Kingdom.

Takehara was a descendant of Aragusuku Anki. He was the third son of Aragusuku Anjū (新城しんじょう 安あん充たかし), and was the originator of an aristocrat family, Mō-uji Misato Dunchi (毛もう氏し美里みさと殿どの内ない).

Takehara served as a member of sanshikan from 1690 to 1697. He was appointed Kumejima kensha (久米島くめじま検けん者しゃ, "investigator of Kume Island") and sent to Kume Island in 1690, there he promulgated the memorandum, Kume-jima Kibochō (久米島くめじま規模きぼ帳ちょう). He was granted Misato magiri (美里みさと間あいだ切きり, modern part of Okinawa, Okinawa) as his hereditary fief in 1697.

Takehara was a son-in-law of King Shō Shitsu. He had two famous sons: the eldest son Misato Anman and the third son Tomoyose Anjō (友寄ともより 安乗あのり). One later became a member of sanshikan; the other plotted to overthrow Sai On together with Heshikiya Chōbin, and was executed by crucifixion.
