Emperor Jimmu (神武天皇, Jinmu-tennō) was the 1st emperor of Japan,[1] according to the traditional order of succession.[2] Jimmu is known as the founder of the Imperial dynasty.
There are no certain dates for this emperor's life or reign.[3] The names and sequence of the early emperors were not confirmed as "traditional" until the reign of Emperor Kammu, who was the 50th monarch of the Yamato dynasty.[4]
Historians debate whether or not Emperor Jimmu actually existed because there is limited evidence of him. Some stories about him may reflect actual events that happened.
