*''Born: [[799]]''
*''Died: [[865]]''
*''Other Names'': 真如 ''(Shinnyo)''
*''Japanese'': 高岳親王 ''(Takaoka shinnou)''
Prince Takaoka was an Imperial prince and [[Shingon]] Buddhist monk, also known by his monastic name, Shinnyo. He is known for his attempt to journey to India, though he sadly died along the way, at age 66, in [[865]], somewhere near modern-day Singapore.
Though he was unsuccessful, of those Japanese in the pre-modern period who attempted to travel to India, he may have made it the farthest.
