Hyechong
Hyechong also known as Esō was a Buddhist monk from Baekje who travelled to Japan in the Asuka period to transmit Buddhism.
Traveling to Japan in 595, he preached Buddhism. When Hōkō-ji, which is now Ango-in or Asuka-dera was completed in 596, the monk lived with the priest Eji from Goguryeo, and together they were called "Sanpō no Tōryō".
