Emperor Kôbun, also known as Prince Ôtomo, was an emperor of the [[Asuka period]] who ruled briefly from [[671]] to [[672]]. He succeeded his father [[Emperor Tenji]] to take the throne in 671.
The following year, he was defeated in a succession war known as the [[Jinshin War]] by his uncle Prince Ôama (a brother of Emperor Tenji), who then took the throne as [[Emperor Temmu]].
Kôbun died later that same year. His mausoleum near [[Otsu|Ôtsu]] City Hall is the only imperial mausoleum in [[Shiga prefecture]].
