In Nihon Shoki, a book of Japanese history finished in the eighth century, it is said that the Empire of Japan was founded in 660 BC by Emperor Jimmu.

The earliest emperor recorded in Kojiki and Nihon Shoki is Emperor Jimmu.

Mythic records in the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki describe how Jimmu's brothers were born in Takachiho, the southern part of Kyūshū ( in modern day Miyazaki prefecture ), and decided to move eastward, as they found the location inappropriate for reigning over the entire country.

The fluidity of Jimmu before the compilation of the Kojiki and of the Nihon Shoki is demonstrated by somewhat earlier texts that place three dynasties as successors to the mythological Yamato state.

The Kojiki and the Nihon Shoki then combined these three mythical dynasties into one long and artificially continuous genealogy.

Because of several chronological discrepancies in the account of Emperor Kimmei in the Nihon Shoki, some believe that his was actually a rival court to that of Emperors Ankan and Senka.

According to the Nihon Shoki, Emperor Kimmei ruled until his death in 571 and was buried in the Hinokuma no Sakai Burial Mound ( 桧隈坂合陵 ).

The achievements of Nintoku's reign which are noted in Nihon Shoki include:

Significant differences exist in the records of the Kojiki and the Nihon Shoki.

According to the Kojiki ( 712 ) and Nihon Shoki ( 720 ), Buretsu died without a successor, at which time a fifth generation grandson of Emperor Ōjin, Keitai, came and ascended the throne.

The genealogical trees of the Nihon Shoki have been lost, and the accuracy of its account of events remains unknown.

According to Kojiki and Nihon Shoki, his father was Hikoushi no Kimi and his mother was Furihime.

According to Nihon Shoki, Ohohoto no Kimi, the great-grandfather of Emperor Keitai, married into the Okinaga clan.

Shinto practices were first recorded and codified in the written historical records of the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki in the 8th century.
