Kukochihiko

In the The Three Kingdoms, the history of the Wei Kingdom is recorded in the Wajinden, and the official who held real power in the Kununokuni.

The original text of Wajinden reads.

In the south of it there is a dog slave country, the man is the king, its officials have Kukochihiko, does not belong to the queen.

Various theories
  • Since the Wamyō Ruijushō is written as "Kikuchi", it is thought that Kikuchi-jibei dog is "Kikuchihiko" (Japanese) and is associated with Kumamoto Prefecture Kikuchi-gun.[1]。[2][3][4]
  • Since his name is written before Himikoko it is theorized he had the true power in Kununokuni
  • Some think that the derogatory meaning is removed from the official name.[5] The word "狗" is fierce, and is thought to be "commitment (建, Takeru, タケル)," meaning a heroic and brave man. Kochi (古智)" means "old wisdom," but the opposite of "new (古い, Furui)" is "New (新しい, Atarashii)," and it is thought to be originally "New wisdom (新しい知恵, Atarashii Chie). The word "(卑狗)" is "Hiko," which is thought to be "Prince (彦)" or "High sun (日高)" or "Sun child (日子)"..[5]
