Yuzuki-kun - Yuzuki-kun

Japanese: 弓月君 - ゆづきのきみ

A legendary figure who is said to be the leader of a group of people who came from ancient Korea. Also known as King Yuzutsu. According to the Nihon Shoki, in the 14th year of Emperor Ojin's reign, Yuzuki no Kimi came from Baekje and reported that the people of 120 prefectures he led were staying in Gaya due to the interference of the Silla people, so Katsuragi Osutsuhiko was sent to Gaya. In the 16th year of the same reign, Heguri no Sukune and Matotoda no Sukune were sent to Gaya to bring the people together with Osutsuhiko. The Ojinki of the Kojiki only states that the ancestors of the Hatano no Tsukuri and Kancho came to Gaya. In the early 9th century Kogo Shūi and Shinsen Shojiroku, they are said to be the ancestors of the Hata clan, and in the report of Hata no Nagahara and others in the 7th year of the Gangei era (944) entry of the Nihon Sandai Jitsuroku, the clan is said to be a descendant of King Yuzutsu, a descendant of the First Emperor of Qin, and their genealogical consciousness is expressed. On the other hand, there is a different theory that these articles were originally based on the legend that Yuzuki no Kimi was the ancestor of the Hata clan, which was related to the Katsuragi clan, but later changed to the ancestor of the Hata clan. The Hata clan is considered to have been a group based around Hata (Uljin City, Korea) that moved to southern Gaya between the end of the 5th century and the beginning of the 6th century, and then migrated from there and took the name of their hometown. <References> Hirano Kunio, "Research on Social Organization in the Pre-Taika Period"

古代の朝鮮から渡来した人々の集団の首長とされる伝説的人物。融通王とも。『日本書紀』によると,応神14年に弓月君が百済から渡来し,率いる120県の人々が新羅人の邪魔により,加羅(加耶)に留まっていると報じたので,葛城襲津彦が加羅に遣わされた。同16年になって平群木【G7EDF/へぐりのつく】宿禰,的戸田宿禰らを加羅に遣わし,襲津彦と共に人々を連れてきたという。『古事記』応神記には秦造の祖,漢直の祖が渡来したとのみある。9世紀初めの『古語拾遺』や『新撰姓氏録』には秦氏の祖と伝えられ,『日本三代実録』元慶7(944)年条の秦永原らの上奏では同氏は秦の始皇帝の子孫融通王の後裔であるとの系譜意識が語られている。これに対して,これらの記事は元来弓月君は葛城氏の同系の波多氏らの祖という伝承であったのが,のち秦氏の祖と変わったとする異説もある。秦氏は波旦(韓国蔚珍市)あたりを本拠地とする集団が5世紀末から6世紀初めにかけて加耶南部に移動し,そこから渡来して故地の名にちなんだ氏名を称したとみなされる。<参考文献>平野邦雄『大化前代社会組織の研究』
