Parents: Ingyo, emperor of Japan
House: Japan
Spouse(s): (1) Kusahahatahi, (2) Kazuraki no Karahime, among others
Predecessor: Anko
Reign: 456 – 479
Summary: One of the quasi-historical emperors of Japan, Yaryaku never ruled all of Japan and his reigning and death dates are speculative at best. When he was born, he was named Ohatsuse Wakatake, which matches historical data found regarding his tomb. He was the fifth son of Emperor Ingyo and he succeeded to the throne after the death of his brother, Anko, and after suppressing the claims of his younger brothers. Although the formal tomb of the emperor has never been discovered, a Shinto shrine at Osaka is dedicated to him.
Historically, Yaryaku may be the same as King Bu, a Japanese ruler who sent an envoy to the emperor of Liu Song in China during the Northern and Southern Kingdoms period. The envoy bragged that his king's ancestors had conquered 115 barbarian countries (probably states of Japan) and that the king wished for military support against Goguryeo, king of Korea.
