| − | ==Jomon Period== | + | The succession of Emperors as described in the ''[[Nihon Shoki]]'' and the ''[[Kojiki]]'' cannot be taken at face-value. Neither can the presented dates for those before reign of [[Emperor Kimmei]], who ruled from [[539]] to [[571]]<ref>Funke, Mark C. Hitachi no Kuni Fudoki. Monumenta Nipponica, Vol. 49, No. 1. (Spring, 1994), page 11.</ref> be trusted. |

| | + | The following list has been divided up by eras, and most importantly by those that fall under the "mythological" or "historical" categories. [[Emperor Sujin]] is believed to have been the first "historical" Emperor (being the first Emperor to rule in the growing [[Yamato province|Yamato]] region) after the tribal confederacies that had held power previously--this does not mean, however, that he and those that followed did not have highly ficionalized lives. |

| | + | Recent scholarship has raised the possibility that Emperors [[Emperor Seimu|Seimu]] and [[Emperor Chuai|Chûai]], and [[Empress Jingu|Empress Jingû]] were completely ficticious characters<ref>Edwards, Walter. In Pursuit of Himiko. Postwar Archaeology and the Location of Yamatai. Monumenta Nipponica, Vol. 51, No. 1. (Spring, 1996), page 60n.</ref>. This assertion could very well apply to many other early Emperors, while others are most likely composite figures--an amalgamation of various important figures in early Japan. |
