[4] Historians consider details about the life of Emperor Bidatsu to be possibly legendary, but probable.

[6] In the 15th year of Emperor Kinmei’s reign, Bidatsu was named Crown Prince.

Rather, it was presumably Sumeramikoto or Amenoshita Shiroshimesu Ōkimi (治天下大王), meaning "the great king who rules all under heaven".

[citation needed] The Emperor died from a disease which afflicted him with sores, apparently the first royal victim of smallpox in Japan.

[1] The Emperor is traditionally venerated at a memorial Shinto shrine (misasagi) at Osaka.

Unless otherwise noted (as BC), years are in CE / AD  * Imperial Consort and Regent Empress Jingū is not traditionally listed.
