List of Toraijin people

This page compiles notable figures under the Toraijin classification of lesser importance and lack of information. Many of them have conflicting background stories with Korea being the place of origin in their respective original texts, but being given royal heritage from Chinese emperors later in the Shinsen Shōjiroku. According to historian Hiroshi Kurita (栗田 寛), it was common for Korean descendants to rely on prominent families for their lineage in order to raise their social status.

Generally, like with most notable Toraijin figures, they are considered fictional regardless of their supposed place of origin or self-proclaimed lineage.
