*''Reign: [[507]]?-[[531]]''
Emperor Keitai was the 26th Emperor of Japan according to the traditional ([[Meiji period]]) order of succession.
He was originally from the [[Echizen province|Echizen]] region, and became ''[[okimi|ôkimi]]'' (king/emperor) when the Yamato line ran out of heirs at the beginning of the 6th century. Evidence has been found of his journey to [[Yamato province|Yamato]] from Echizen, through a number of other provinces; he is said to have had a number of consorts over the course of his journey, and to have gathered those consorts together in Yamato, after he became ''ôkimi''. Those consorts included [[Abe no Hae-hime]], daughter of [[Kawachi Wani no Omi]]; Keitai and Hae-hime had a son, [[Azu no Miko]].
