Emperor Nintoku of Japan
Emperor Nintoku (仁徳天皇) was the 16th imperial ruler of Japan. No firm dates can be assigned to this emperor or to his reign, but he is considered to have ruled the country during the early 5th century CE.
According to Nihonshoki, he was the fourth son of Emperor Ojin and the father of Emperor Richu, Hanzei, and Ingyo. The book states also Nintoku ruled from 313 till 399 but modern research think those date inaccurate.
Scholars identify him with King San of Japan or King Chin in the Chinese history book, Book of Song. According to the Book of Song, San sent messangers to Song Dynasty at least twice in 421 and 425, and died before 438. Chin was the younger brother of San and sent messanger(s) in 438 to have the Song dynasty assure his position as the King of Japan and accepted.
Oyama-Kofun, the biggest tomb of the world in Sakai, Osaka is considered his tomb by most scholars.
