*''Chinese/Japanese'': 光武帝 ''(Guangwu-di / Koubu-tei)''
Emperor Guangwu was the first emperor of [[Han Dynasty|Eastern Han Dynasty]] China. He held the throne from 25 to 57 CE. He is celebrated for a variety of activities, including establishing the capital at [[Luoyang]], resecuring the empire after the uprising of [[Wang Mang]], and various military expeditions.
He is significant in Japanese history as the emperor who in 57 CE granted a golden seal to the state of [[Na]], located on Kyushu, a seal which would be discovered by a farmer in the 18th century, one of the earliest extant pieces of evidence of Japanese polities, and of their interactions with the continent.
