===Reign=== Prince {{Nihongo|Anaho|穴穂}} was enthroned as ''Emperor Ankō'' towards the end of 453 AD. During this time the capital was moved to ''Isonokami'' (located in [[Yamato Province|Yamoto]]) where the new emperor had his palace.<ref name="Aston1"/> One of Ankō's first decisions in the following year was to arrange a marriage between his younger brother, {{Nihongo|[[Emperor Yūryaku|Prince Ōhatuse no Wakatakeru]]|大泊瀬稚武皇子}}, and [[Kusaka no Hatabi no hime|Hatahihime]], who was a sister of his uncle {{Nihongo|[[Emperor Nintoku#Consorts and children|Prince Ookusaka]]|大草香皇子}}.<ref name="Fane1"/><ref name="Brinkley">{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=HOJxAAAAMAAJ&q=Ank%C5%8D|title=A History of the Japanese People from the Earliest Times to the End of the Meiji Era|chapter=Chapter XII: The Protohistoric Sovereigns|author=[[Francis Brinkley]]|publisher=[[Encyclopædia Britannica]]|year=1915|pages=111–112}}</ref> Ankō dispatched his servant {{Nihongo|Ne-no-omi|根使主}} to negotiate with Ookusaka, and he happily consented to the marriage. As a token of approval, he entrusted Ne-no-omi with a richly jeweled [[coronet]] to be presented to the Emperor.<ref name="Fane1"/><ref name="Brinkley"/> Unbeknownst to Ankō, his servant chose to keep the coronet for himself and lied to him by saying Ookusaka refused to comply.<ref name="Aston1"/> Ankō believed Ne-no-omi's words and infuriated with rage sent his soldiers to kill Ookusaka and take his wife [[Princess Nakashi|Nakashi]] ([[Emperor Richū]]’s daughter) as his [[Kōgō (empress)|Kogo]].<ref name="Fane1"/><ref name="Brinkley"/> Hatahihime was then married to Ōhatuse in accordance with the Emperor's wishes.<ref name="Brinkley"/> Aside from his eventual demise, there aren't any other noteworthy events during Ankō's reign.
