Kammu

(born 737, Nara, Japan—died April 9, 806, Heian-kyo [Kyoto]) Emperor of Japan (781–806). To curb the power of the Buddhist temples located in Nara, he moved the capital from Heijo-kyo (Nara) to Nagaoka in 784 and then to the city of Heian-kyo in 794. The establishment of the capital in Heian-kyo marked the start of the Heian period.
