probably parallel king in central Japan c530->c539
against his elder half-brothers presumably at least in
part on support of maternal heritage (c539 the Asuka
period is construed to start), practically undisputed

seat: Tamaho palace at Ihare, c510-c530 26.Japanese
monarch over (in the end, most) Yamato
('sumeramikoto'), seems to have been a kinglet in
outskirts of Great Yamato, expanding his birth kingdom
and then since brother-in-law's murder, with support
of wife's inherited heritage taking over Yamato slowly
against some opposition, c530 forced to abdicate being
first succeeded by his eldest son and that probably
meant fragmentation and crumbling of the relatively

64 lord Hiko-no-Ushi no Kimi, chieftain in what
became Omi - an ancestor of Koshi lineage (probably
flourished in mid-400s), it is possible that already
he built some expansion of their chieftainship in
outskirts of Great Yamato (Central Japan), which is
