Emperor Jinmu
Emperor Jinmu is the descendant of Amaterasu Omikami, the main god of Japanese myth. The family lived at Takachio of Hyuga. When he was 45 years old, he decided to expand the land to the east. Because legend said, there is a beautiful land on the east that would be a great place to build a new capital.

His eastern expedition reached the land of Kawachi, current Osaka. However, local powerful family in Kawachi was strong and Emperor Jinmu was defeated once.

So he decided to travel to the southern Kii peninsula. To support him, Amaterasu Omikami gave divine sword and Yata crow for his guidance. His army entered the land of Nara. People in Nara supported Jinmu and finally he conquered the land around Nara and Kawachi.
