  Emperor Yomei - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Emperor Yōmei (用明天皇 Yōmei Tennnō) (died 587) was the 31st imperial ruler of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession.
Emperor Yōmei was the fourth prince of Emperor Kimmei and his mother was Soga no Kitashihime, a daughter of Soga no Iname.
Although Emperor Yōmei is reported to have died from illness, this incident and the brevity of his reign have led some to speculate that he was actually assassinated by Moriya and Prince Anahobe.

 Japan, Buddhism and Warlords
Buddhism may have arrived in Japan earlier, but the commonly believed time of its arrival in Japan was around the mid-500s, when the Korean king of Paekche was fighting the king of neighboring Silla and wished to ally himself with Japan.
Japan's emperor sent no troops to Korea, and in 562 Japan was forced from its possession in Korea that it called Mimana.
Japan was growing also in population, and they were expanding against indigenous people, including the Ainu, who, on the main island, Honshu, were overrun and pushed farther north.

 Shinto   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The Buddhism that Japan first encountered came from Korea in the sixth century c.e.-522 according to the Nihon Shoki, or Nihongi (720) but 538 according to the earlier Jogu Shotoku Ho O Teisetsu.
But it is important to recognisethat the Buddhism that came to Japan over the years also includes various forms of Theravada Buddhism – forms ranging from some of the earliest examples of Indian Buddhism to the developments of much later centuries.
Just as the islands of Japan served, both geographically and chronologically, as the terminus of the Buddhist journey, so too Japanese Buddhism may be thought of as a recapitulation of the developments that have gone into the shaping of Buddhism as a whole.
