Emperor K?rei ( 孝?天皇 , K?rei-tenn? ) , also known as ?yamatonekohikofutoni no Mikoto ( 大倭根子日子賦斗邇命 ) was the seventh legendary emperor of Japan , according to the traditional order of succession . [3] [4] Very little is known about this Emperor due to a lack of material available for further verification and study. K?rei is known as a "legendary emperor" among historians as his actual existence is disputed. Nothing exists in the Kojiki other than his name and genealogy. K?rei's reign allegedly began in 290 BC. He had one wife and three consorts with whom he fathered seven children. After his death in 215 BC, one of his sons supposedly became the next emperor . [5] [6] K?rei is traditionally accepted as the first emperor of the Yayoi period , which is named after the Yayoi people who migrated to the Japanese archipelago from mainland Asia .

Legendary narrative [ edit ]

In the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki , only his name and genealogy were recorded. The Japanese have traditionally accepted this sovereign's historical existence, and an Imperial misasagi or tomb for K?rei is currently maintained; however, no extant contemporary records have been discovered that confirm a view that this historical figure actually reigned. K?rei was born in 342 BC and is believed to be the eldest son of Emperor K?an . [2] His mother is believed to have been Oshihime, who was the daughter of Ametarashihiko-Kunio-shihito-no-mikoto. [7] K?rei's pre-ascension name was Prince O-Yamato-Neko Hiko-futo-ni no Mikoto , and the Kojiki records that he ruled from the palace of Kuroda-noi-odo-no-miya ( ?田廬?宮 ) at Kuroda in what would come to be known as Yamato Province . [4] [6] It is noted in the Kojiki that sometime during K?rei's reign, Kibi was conquered by the emperor. [8] K?rei was the first emperor since Jimmu to take on consorts, and fathered seven children with them along with his chief wife Empress: Kuwashi-hime. K?rei is recorded as having a long life, reigning from 290 BC until his death in 215 BC. His eldest son was then subsequently enthroned as the next emperor .

Known information [ edit ]

The existence of at least the first nine Emperors is disputed due to insufficient material available for further verification and study. [9] K?rei is thus regarded by historians as a "legendary Emperor", and is considered to have been the sixth of eight Emperors without specific legends associated with them . [a] The name K?rei -tenn? was assigned to him posthumously by later generations. [11] His name might have been regularized centuries after the lifetime ascribed to K?rei, possibly during the time in which legends about the origins of the Yamato dynasty were compiled as the chronicles known today as the Kojiki . [10] As with Emperor K?an , K?rei's exceptional age of 127 is considered unlikely due to verification issues among other things. While the actual site of K?rei's grave is not known, the Emperor is traditionally venerated at a memorial Shinto shrine ( misasagi ) in ?ji . The Imperial Household Agency designates this location as K?rei's mausoleum , and its formal name is Kataoka no Umasaka no misasagi . [3] [5]

Like Emperor K?sh? , there is a possibility that "K?rei" could have lived instead in the 1st century (AD). Historian Louis Frederic notes this idea in his book Japan Encyclopedia where he says it is "very likely", but this remains disputed among other researchers. [6] [12] The first emperor that historians state might have actually existed is Emperor Sujin , the 10th emperor of Japan. [13] Outside of the Kojiki, the reign of Emperor Kinmei [b] ( c.  509  ? 571 AD) is the first for which contemporary historiography is able to assign verifiable dates. [16] The conventionally accepted names and dates of the early Emperors were not confirmed as "traditional" though, until the reign of Emperor Kanmu [c] between 737 and 806 AD. [10]
