Himiko (? - 248) was the queen ruler of what was called Yamataikoku,
probably either in Yamato province or in the North Kyushu in Japan.
According to an ancient Chinese history book, Chronicles of the Three
Kingdoms, which contains the only record about her, Himiko was a shaman who
controlled the mind of people by her paranormal abilities. Nihonshoki, an
old Japanese history book, notes that Himiko is actually Empress Jingu, the
mother of Emperor Ojin, which however historians disagree with. Some
speculates that she is the same person as Amaterasu, which is the most major
theory nowadays.
Until aged, she had never got married. It was told that her younger
brother assisted her as a political adviser and she never showed up at the
front of people after she became a queen.
In circa, 188, Himiko initiated to rule Japan and in 248 she died.
