Emperor Kōrei
Emperor Kōrei (孝霊天皇, Kōrei-tennō), also known as Ōyamatonekohikofutoni no Mikoto (大倭根子日子賦斗邇命) was the seventh legendary emperor of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession. Very little is known about this Emperor due to a lack of material available for further verification and study. Kōrei is known as a "legendary emperor" among historians as his actual existence is disputed. Nothing exists in the Kojiki other than his name and genealogy. Read more on Wikipedia

Emperor Kōrei is most famous for his many reforms. He is credited with the creation of the first Japanese coin, the ken, and the establishment of a system of weights and measures based on Chinese standards.
