Kōan (emperor)
See also: Kōan
The emperor Kōan (ja 孝安天皇, Kōan Tennō ) is the sixth emperor Japan to be appeared on traditional the list of the emperors.
No unquestionable date can be allotted to this emperor and he is regarded by the historians as a “legendary emperor”. He is the fifth of eight emperors without legend, the Kojiki and the Nihonshoki specifying only his name and his genealogy. The tradition allots to him dates of life of −427 to −291 and locates its reign starting from −392, following that of his/her father Kōshō.
If the tradition affirms that there really existed and allots a tomb to him, the modern historical studies tend to show that it has in fact never existed.
