King Onjo (English spelling) On‐jo‐wang

Japanese: 温祚王 - おんそおう（英語表記）On‐jo‐wang

The founder of Baekje, Korea. A legendary figure. According to the legend of the founding of Baekje, as told in the "Samguk Sagi," King Onjo was the third son of Jumong, the founder of Goguryeo. However, fearing the actions of his eldest and half-brother, he fled Buyeo with his brother Bolyu and moved south to Hansan. Bolyu settled in Michuhol, while Onjo made Wiryeseong the capital and named the country Shikje. This was in 18 BC. After Bolyu died, Onjo brought his people together, named the country Baekje, and took the name Buyeo. This is a founding legend that reflects the formation of the Baekje state as a result of the Buyeo tribe moving south.

朝鮮，百済の始祖。伝説上の人物。《三国史記》が伝える百済の建国伝説によると，温祚王は高句麗の始祖朱蒙の第3子であったが，長兄で異母兄の類利を恐れ，兄の沸流とともに扶余の地を逃れて南下し，漢山に至った。沸流は弥鄒忽に居を定め，温祚は慰礼城に都して国号を十済とした。ときに紀元前18年であったという。その後沸流が死ぬと，温祚はその民をあわせ，国号を百済とし，扶余氏を名のった，と伝えられている。扶余族の南下によって百済の国家が形成されたことを反映した建国伝説である。
