Himiko 

(卑弥呼, c. 170–248 AD), also known as Shingi Waō (親魏倭王, "Ruler of Wa, Friend of

Wei"),[1][a][b] was a shamaness-queen of Yamatai-koku in Wakoku (倭国). Early Chinese dynastic
histories chronicle tributary relations between Queen Himiko and the Cao Wei Kingdom (220–265)
and record that the Yayoi period people chose her as ruler following decades of warfare among the
kings of Wa. Early Japanese histories do not mention Himiko, but historians associate her with
legendary figures such as Empress Consort Jingū, who was regent (c. 200–269) in roughly the same
era as Himiko.
Scholarly debates over the identity of Himiko and the location of her domain, Yamatai, have raged
since the late Edo period, with opinions divided between northern Kyūshū or traditional Yamato
Province in present-day Kinki. The "Yamatai controversy", writes Keiji Imamura, is "the greatest
debate over the ancient history of Japan."[4] A prevailing view among scholars is that she may be
buried at Hashihaka burial in Nara Prefecture
