According to an old Chinese history book, Gishiwajinden, it is her who had unified Japan from her country Yamataikoku or at least become the top representative of Japan after a great civil war. The old Japanese history book Nihonshoki affirms that Himiko should be Jingukogo, queen mother of Emperor Ojin but many histories don't agree with this thesis. She may correspond to the Japanese Sun goddess, Amaterasu. | |
