Nawata and Gawata

The twin kings ruled jointly over Kano until one of them (the Kano Chronicle did not mention which one of the twins) died 7 months after he ascended the throne. The other twin died in 1136 after ruling alone for 17 months.^[2]

The twin kings were succeeded in 1136 by their brother Yusa, also known as Tsaraki.^[2]

Below is a biography of Nawata and Gawata from Palmer's 1908 English translation of the Kano Chronicle.^[2]

The rule of the twins Nawata and Gawata, children of Gijimasu, was the 4th reign. Their mother was Munsada. Together they ruled the city of Kano for 7 months; then one of them died; the other was left. The remaining one ruled 1 year and 5 months, and then he died.

Altogether they ruled 2 years.
