For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic Japan topics. ^[1] No firm dates can be assigned to this emperor's life or reign. Ankō is considered to have ruled the country during the mid-5th century, but there is a paucity of information about him. The 5th century is the period from 401 to 500 in accordance with the Julian calendar in Anno Domini / Common Era. Scholars can only lament that, at this time, there is insufficient material available for further verification and study.

According to Kojiki and Nihonshoki Ankō was the second son of Emperor Ingyō.
