Emperor Annei

Emperor Annei (安寧天皇　Annei Tennō) was the third emperor of Japan to appear on the traditional list of emperors. No firm date can be assigned to this emperor and he is regarded by historians as a "legendary emperor". He was the second one of eight emperors without legend. In Kojiki and Nihonshoki only his name and genealogy were recorded. The Japanese traditionally accepted his historical existence, and a tomb was attributed to him, but contemporary studies support the view that no such person existed.

His posthumous name literally means "steady tranquillity."
