Wang Zhi (王直; died 1560) was a Chinese pirate of the 16th century, active during the reign of the Jiajing Emperor. Through his clandestine trade, he is credited for spreading European firearms throughout East Asia, and for his role in leading the Portuguese to be the first Europeans to reach Japan in 1543.[1] In 1543, one of his ships prepared to leave Fukue Island, Japan to return to China, hosting an expedition of Portuguese Templars and transporting crates of matchlock arquebuses.[2]
