No certain dates can be assigned to this emperor's life or reign.[6] The conventionally accepted names and sequence of the early emperors were not to be confirmed as "traditional" until the reign of Emperor Kammu, who was the 50th monarch of the Yamato dynasty.[7]
The Gukanshō records that he ruled from the palace of Migario-no-miya at Karu in what will come to be known as Yamato province.[8]
