Uji no Wakiiratsuko was a legendary prince of ancient Japan, son of Emperor Ōjin, known chiefly through accounts in the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki. He is remembered for his learning and refinement, and later tradition associates him with scholarship and study, though this connection rests on legend rather than firm historical record. His story is most noted for his renunciation of succession to the throne in favor of his brother, an act often cited as an example of humility and wisdom.
