# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  The Nihon Shoki and Kojiki place Jimmu as grandson of Ninigi, himself descended from the sun goddess Amaterasu and the storm god Susanoo. He launched a military expedition from Hyūga near the Seto Inland Sea, captured Yamato, and made it his seat of power. His ascension in 660 BC became the anchor date for Japan's imperial chronology. Modern scholars regard him as legendary rather than historical — no evidence supports his existence. But the myth endures: National Foundation Day falls on February 11, the date tradition assigns to his rule's beginning, enshrining a story where bloodline starts with the sun.
