*''Japanese'': 猿丸太夫 ''(Sarumaru Dayuu)''
Sarumaru Dayû was a legendary poet. He is known for his poems in the ''[[Kokinshu|Kokinshû]]'' and the ''[[Hyakunin Isshu|Hyakunin Isshû]]'', and as one of the "36 Poetry Immortals" (''[[Sanjurokkasen|Sanjûrokkasen]]''). Nothing is known about his life, and there are even doubts as to whether he truly existed, or who these poems were composed by.
