Dei of Wa
Dei of Wa (禰) was a King of Wakoku, who was compared to Emperor Nintoku, founder of the Kawachi dynasty by the oriental historian Hidehiro Okada.[1] He was not among the Five kings of Wa but would be another King of Wa predating them.
Basis for the name
This is the genealogy proposed by Okada
| 禰（Emperor Nintoku） | |||||||||||||||||||
| 賛（Emperor Richū） | |||||||||||||||||||
| 珍（Emperor Hanzei） | 済（Emperor Ingyō） | ||||||||||||||||||
| 興（Emperor Ankō） | 武（Emperor Yūryaku） | ||||||||||||||||||
The name Dei is recorded in the Book of Song as the Japanese king Wangmu[2] to the Song dynasty of the Northern and Southern dynasties of China in 487,[3].
Okada (岡田) said of Grandfather-Dei「祖禰」
- Grandfather-Dei「祖禰」 is Emperor Nintoku, the grandfather of Emperor Yūryaku.[4]。
- Bu of Wa, wrote in a letter addressed to the Song dynasty in China in 487 that he had been engaged in warfare both at sea and abroad since the generation of Grandfather-Dei「祖禰」or his grandfather Dei. There must be another King of Wa before San, Chin, and Sai.[5]
