There are three theories about how "Sakurajima Komikan" were first cultivated. The first is that [[Shimazu Yoshihiro]], the second son of [[Shimazu Takahisa]], the ''[[daimyō]]'' of Satsuma Province, took the oranges back to Satsuma from the [[Korean Peninsula]] after the two [[Japanese invasions of Korea]] in 1592 and 1598. Second, that he might have brought them from [[Kii Province]] after the [[Battle of Sekigahara]] on October 21, 1600. The third theory is that he brought back "Takada mikan" oranges from [[Yatsushiro]] in [[Higo Province]] (present-day Kumamoto). This opinion is the most popular. The fruit has become a specialty of Satsuma because Naotomo Yamaguchi, Tokugawa Ieyasu's retainer, admired its great flavour. In 1603, it was presented to [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]] by [[Shimazu Tadatsune]], ''[[tozama daimyō]]'' of Satsuma. In ancient times, it was referred to as "Mukoujima Mikan" or "Aka Mikan" but it started to be called "Sakurajima Mikan" around 1658.
