Dei of Wa () was a King of Wakoku, who was compared to Emperor Nintoku, founder of the Kawachi dynasty by the oriental historian Hidehiro Okada.[1] He was not among the Five kings of Wa but would be another King of Wa predating them.

Basis for the name[edit]

This is the genealogy proposed by Okada

禰(Emperor Nintoku
賛(Emperor Richū
珍(Emperor Hanzei済(Emperor Ingyō
興(Emperor Ankō武(Emperor Yūryaku

The name Dei is recorded in the Book of Song as the Japanese king Wangmu[2] to the Song dynasty of the Northern and Southern dynasties of China in 487,[3].

Okada (岡田) said of Grandfather-Dei「祖禰」

Grandfather-Dei「祖禰」 is Emperor Nintoku, the grandfather of Emperor Yūryaku.[4]
Bu of Wa, wrote in a letter addressed to the Song dynasty in China in 487 that he had been engaged in warfare both at sea and abroad since the generation of Grandfather-Dei「祖禰」or his grandfather Dei. There must be another King of Wa before San, Chin, and Sai.[5]
