Wani (scholar)

Wani (王仁) originally known as Wanikishi (和邇吉師), was a semi-legendary scholar who is said to have been sent to Japan by Paekche of southwestern Korea during the reign of Emperor Ōjin. He used to be associated with the introduction of the Chinese writing system to Japan.

He is considered one of the three most influential Toraijins alongside Yuzuki no Kimi and Achi no Omi during the Kofun period.
