Nawata and Gawata were the Kings of Kano from 1134 to 1136. They were the twin sons of Gijimasu and Munsada. [1] [2]
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.
