San of Wa (讃) was a king of Wa in the first half of the 5th century (middle of the Kofun era). [1]

He was the brother of Chin, the first of the "Five kings of Wa" (although San is not seen as a king in the historical record [2]). Some have compared him to either the 15th Emperor Ojin, the 16th Emperor Nintoku, or the 17th Emperor Richu.

In the 2nd year of Yuanjia (425), San also sent Cao Da, a librarian, to the Song dynasty to present a written appeal to Wen, and presented him with local specialties. Later, after San's death, his younger brother Jin stood as king.[3][4]
