Biography

In the beginning, him and his/her Woke brother are found when the emperor Seinei dies without heirs. The two boys are grandsons of the emperor Richu¯, and are promoted in a kind of adoptive heirs to Seinei, although it is not very clear to know if this fact occurs or not of living of Seinei. Although being youngest, Woke is crowned and becomes the emperor Kenzo¯, following an agreement between the two brothers and after one period of one year regency ensured by Iitoyo Ao No Ko¯jo. However, he dies shortly after without heirs, and his/her brother thus succeeds to him on the throne.
