  • Distinction: First Emperor of Japan
  • Other names: Kamu-yamato-ihare-biko no Mikoto
  • Japanese: 神武天皇

Jimmu was known as Kamu-yamato-ihare-biko no Mikoto before becoming Emperor of Japan. A composite, mythological character represented in the Nihon Shoki and Kojiki, he most likely represents broad social changes rather than an actual charismatic figure.
