Nagahiko Chikuma

Japanese: 千熊長彦 - ちくま・ながひこ

Year of birth: Unknown
He is said to have been involved in diplomacy with Korea in the 4th and 5th centuries. One theory is that he was from Musashi Province. When it was discovered in the 47th year of the regency of Empress Jingu that Silla had seized tribute from Baekje and paid it to the shogun, he was sent to Silla as an envoy to investigate the matter. In the 49th year, when he attacked Silla under the command of Arata-wake and Kaga-wake, he is said to have climbed Mount Beiji (Gimje, North Jeolla Province) and Mount Gosa (Gofuku, North Jeolla Province) with the king of Baekje and made a pact. This corresponds to the name Shokumananagahikage in the Baekje-ki, which is quoted in the Nihon Shoki. There are two theories about the relationship between the two: one is that similar documents existed in Wa and Baekje, and the other is that the editor of the Shokuji who came across the entries in the Baekje-ki used Japanese characters, but the latter theory seems more likely. <References>Yamao Yukihisa, Ancient Japan-Korea Relations,

生年：生没年不詳
4,5世紀ごろ,朝鮮外交に従事したとされる人物。一説に武蔵国の人という。神功皇后摂政47年新羅が百済の貢物を奪って朝貢したことが発覚した際,新羅に問罪使として遣わされ,同49年荒田別,鹿我別を将軍として新羅を攻めたとき,百済王と辟支山(全羅北道金堤),古沙山(全羅北道古阜)に登って盟約を交わしたとされる。『日本書紀』に引用される『百済記』に職麻那那加比跪とあるのがこれに相当するという。両者の関係については,倭と百済に同様の資料が存在したとする説と,『百済記』の記載を知った書紀編者が日本流の文字を当てたとする説があるが,後者の説が妥当であろう。<参考文献>山尾幸久『古代の日朝関係』
