The legendary Emperor Kaika is traditionally considered the 9th [[emperor of Japan]]. His successor [[Emperor Sujin]] is the first whom most scholars consider to have actually existed historically.

Kaika is said to be the son of [[Emperor Kogen|Emperor Kôgen]] and Utsushikome-no-mikoto. According to the ''[[Nihon shoki]]'', his capital was at Kasuga no Izakawa no Miya. He is said to have died at the age of 111, in the 60th year of his rule.
