It can be said that `the five kings of Wa' is not the great king of Yamato kingship because there is no record of the great kings of Yamato kingship who had Chinese style names consisting of one character such as San (讃), Chin (珍), Sei (済), Ko (興), (Bu) 武 like `the five kings of Wa,' and there was no case of a king of the eastern barbarians named by China without their permission.
また、ヤマト王権の大王が、「倭の五王」のような讃、珍、済、興、武など1字の中国風の名を名乗ったという記録は存在しない、中国側が勝手に東夷の王に中国風の名を付けることなども例が無く考えられないので、「倭の五王」はヤマト王権の大王ではない。
