Question:
Answer:
Xu Fu or 徐福 (pronounced "Jo Fuku" in Japanese).
Not many people know him. His name is known only by those people who love ancient history, and/or who love the occult stuff.
There are many legends and folk stories.
As far as I know, he visited Japan to pursue an elixir of life, and explored all around Japan. He left many folklore, but not many things are sure.
It is said Xu Fu or Jo Fuku believed that Mt. Fuji is Chinese legendary mystical mountain 蓬莱山 (Mt. Penglai, or Horai zan), and he found some "mysterious secret" in Mt. Fuji.
