Page "Emperor Jimmu" Paragraph 12

According to the Kojiki, Jimmu died when he was 126 years old.

This emperor's posthumous name literally means " divine might " or " god-warrior ".

It is undisputed that this identification is Chinese in form and Buddhist in implication, which suggests that the name must have been regularized centuries after the lifetime ascribed to Jimmu.

It is generally thought that Jimmu's name and character evolved into their present shape just before the time in which legends about the origins of the Yamato dynasty were chronicled in the Kojiki.
