Editing Emperor Keitai (section)

==Keitai's reign==
Keitai declared his ascension in Kuzuha, in the northern part of [[Kawachi Province]] (present day Hirakata, Osaka), and married a younger sister of [[Emperor Buretsu]], Princess Tashiraka. It is supposed that his succession was not welcomed by everyone, and it took about 20 years for Keitai to enter [[Yamato Province]], near Kawachi and the political center of Japan at the time.

In Keitai's later years, 527 or 528, the [[Iwai Rebellion]] broke out in Tsukushi province, [[Kyūshū]]. Keitai assigned [[Mononobe no Arakabi]] as Shōgun and sent him to Kyūshū to put down the rebellion.

Among his sons, [[Emperor Ankan]], [[Emperor Senka]] and [[Emperor Kinmei]] ascended to the throne.<ref name="a1-25"/>

The actual site of Keitai's [[grave (burial)|grave]] is not known.<ref name="kunaicho"/> He is traditionally venerated at a [[memorial]] [[Shinto]] [[shrine]] (''misasagi'') at the Ooda Chausuyama [[kofun]] in [[Ibaraki, Osaka]].

The [[Imperial Household Agency]] designates this location as Keitai's [[mausoleum]]. It is formally named ''Mishima no Aikinu no misasagi''.<ref>Ponsonby-Fane, p. 419.</ref>
