*''Chinese/Japanese'': [[陳]] 和卿 ''(Chén Héqīng / Chin Wakei, Chin Nakei)''
Chén Héqīng, often known in Japanese as Chin Nakei or Chin Wakei, was a Chinese merchant who played a role in the rebuilding of [[Todaiji|Tôdaiji]] following its destruction in the [[Genpei War]].
Chén reportedly believed that [[Shogun]] [[Minamoto no Sanetomo]] was the reincarnation of a famous Chinese Buddhist priest, and helped Sanetomo to commission the construction of a ship to take Sanetomo to China. Ultimately, the ship proved to not be seaworthy, and Sanetomo never ended up traveling to China.
