Emperor Suinin
Encyclopedia : E : EM : EMP : Emperor Suinin
Emperor Suinin (垂仁天皇 Suinin Tennō) was the eleventh 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". This does not necessarily imply that no such person ever existed, just that there is insufficient material to assign him to a historical period.
Nihonshoki records the wrestling match of Nomi no Sukune and Taima no Kehaya held during his era, as the origin of Sumai(Sumo wrestling).
