Yaza Dewi (Burmese: ရာဇဒေဝီ, pronounced [jàza̰ dèwì]) was a junior queen consort of King Mingyi Nyo of Toungoo and the mother of King Tabinshwehti. Born Khin Oo (ခင်ဦး) to the village chief of Le Way, she became a concubine of the king in 1515.[1] After she gave birth to their first and only son, the king raised the teenage commoner to the rank of queen with the style of Yaza Dewi.[2]
