Shigakishi
, was the third son of King Muryeong of Baekje. Some scholars believe he may be the same person as Prince Junda. In October, 504, king Muryeong of Baekje sent a diplomat named Managun with tribute to Emperor Buretsu of Japan. Buretsu was angry that Baekje had not sent an envoy in a long time and detained the envoy. So, in April, 505 Muryeong sent a new envoy with Maagun with tribute but this time sending a message to Buretsu: “''Previously to submit tribute I dispatched Managun, who was of no relation to the royalty of Baekje. Therefore, I humbly send Saa, that he may serve in the court''.” He eventually had a son, the monk named Kun.

Prince Junda
was the second son of King Muryeong of Baekje who settled in Japan. His father was born on the island of Kyushu in Japan and because of this was called Semakishi (嶋君) and King Shima (斯麻王). Prince Junda was most likely also born in Japan during the early 480s and went back to Baekje in 501 when his father returned to become the 25th King of Baekje. In 504 his father sent an envoy for a tribute to Japan named Managun but he was imprisoned by Emperor Buretsu who was angry that Baekje had not sent tribute for many years. Buretsu is known to have suffered from insanity and this is why his successor Emperor Keitai was carefully chosen from a distant branch of the Imperial Family. In the '' Nihon Shoki'': "''Seventh year, spring, second month. The Emperor made a man climb a tree, then with a bow shot him down and laughed.''" The next year in 505 King Muryeong of Baekje sent his son, Prince Junda, as a hostage to Japan to repair relations with the Imperial Court. In the ''Ni ...

Koreans In Japan
comprise ethnic Koreans who have permanent residency status in Japan or who have become Japanese citizens, and whose immigration to Japan originated before 1945, or who are descendants of those immigrants. They are a group distinct from South Korean nationals who have emigrated to Japan after the end of World War II and the division of Korea.

Baekje
Baekje or Paekche (, ) was a Korean kingdom located in southwestern Korea from 18 BC to 660 AD. It was one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea, together with Goguryeo and Silla. Baekje was founded by Onjo, the third son of Goguryeo's founder Jumong and So Seo-no, at Wiryeseong (present-day southern Seoul). Baekje, like Goguryeo, claimed to succeed Buyeo, a state established in present-day Manchuria around the time of Gojoseon's fall. Baekje alternately battled and allied with Goguryeo and Silla as the three kingdoms expanded control over the peninsula. At its peak in the 4th century, Baekje controlled most of the western Korean peninsula, as far north as Pyongyang, and may have even held territories in China, such as in Liaoxi, though this view is controversial. It became a significant regional sea power, with political and trade relations with China and Japan. Baekje was a great maritime power; its nautical skill, which made it the Phoenicia of East Asia, was instrumental i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Monarchs Of Korea
This is a list of monarchs of Korea, arranged by dynasty. Names are romanized according to the South Korean Revised Romanization of Korean. McCune–Reischauer romanizations may be found at the articles about the individual monarchs. Gojoseon Gojoseon (2333 BC – 108 BC) was the first Korean kingdom. According to legend, it was founded by Dangun in 2333 BC. Bronze Age archaeological evidence of Gojoseon culture is found in northern Korea and Liaoning. By the 9th to 4th century BC, various historical and archaeological evidence shows Gojoseon was a flourishing state and a self-declared kingdom. Both Dangun and Gija are believed to be mythological figures, but recent findings suggest and theorize that since Gojoseon was a kingdom with artifacts dating back to the 4th millennium BC, Dangun and Gija may have been royal or imperial titles used for the monarchs of Gojoseon, hence the use of Dangun for 1900 years. * :"An extreme manifestation of nationalism and the family cult was th ...
