Comparison With The Japanese History Book
As the name of kings recorded are very much different from the names of emperors in Nihonshoki, specifying which emperor was the one recorded in Chinese history is under longtime dispute unsolved for centuries. Most contemporary historians assign the five Japanese kings to the following emperors (two possibilities are identified for Kings San and Chin), mostly based on the individual features of their genealogies reported in the Chinese sources. On the other hand, archeological evidence, such as the inscriptions on the Inariyama and Eta Funayama Sword also supports the idea that Bu is an equivalent of Emperor Yūryaku who was called Wakatakeru Okimi at his age.
- San 讃 Emperor Nintoku or Emperor Richū
- Chin 珍 Emperor Hanzei or Emperor Nintoku
- Sai or Sei 濟 Emperor Ingyō
- Kō 興 Emperor Ankō
- Bu 武 Emperor Yūryaku
Since Bu is most likely to be Yūryaku, Kō, who is said to be Bu's older brother, is likely to be an equivalent of Ankō who also noted in Nihonshoki as an elder brother to Yūryaku. However, Book of Song records Kō as "Crown Prince Kō", there is a possibility that he is not Ankō, but is Prince Kinashi no Karu, who was a crown prince of Ingyō.
Some suspect that they were rulers of a non-Yamato court which in the 5th century ruled most of what is currently Japan, and who were eventually ruined by the ancestors of current imperial dynasty. However, such an idea is not widely accepted among scholars.

“I review novels to make money, because it is easier for a sluggard to write an article a fortnight than a book a year, because the writer is soothed by the opiate of action, the crank by posing as a good journalist, and having an airhole. I dislike it. I do it and I am always resolving to give it up.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
