Mononobe no Okoshi

Mononobe no Okoshi (物部尾輿) was a Japanese statesman during the Kofun period (300-538 CE), and the chief of the Mononobe clan. He was strongly against the introduction of Buddhism in Japan, along with his counterpart Ōtomo no Kanamura. He was also against military action against the Korean kingdom of Silla, which led to Ōtomo's fall from power.
