欽明天皇
Because of several chronological discrepancies in the account of Emperor Kinmei in the "[[Nihon Shoki]]", some believe that he was actually ruling a rival court to that of Emperors [[Emperor Ankan|Ankan]] and [[Emperor Senka|Senka]]. Nevertheless, according to the traditional account, it was not until the death of Emperor Kinmei's older brother Emperor Senka that he gained the throne.
