Kato Kintu Kakulukuku[1] (fl. Late 13th century)[2] known in Bunyoro as Kato Kimera was the first kabaka (king) of the Kingdom of Buganda. "Kintu" is an adopted by-name, chosen for Kintu, the name of the first person on earth in Buganda mythology. Kato Kintu gave himself the name "Kintu" to associate himself with the "father of all people",[3][4][5][6][7][8] and he may have renamed his wife, from Nantuttululu to Nambi, because that was Kintu's wife's name.[9]
Kintu was born at Bukasa Village, in the Ssese Islands, on Lake Nalubaale. He established his capital at Nnono, Busujju County. He fathered three children: Gguluddene, Ccwa (also spelt as Chwa) and Wakayima.[10]
Kabaka Kato Kintu[11] died at age thirty. He was buried at Nnono, Busujju County.[citation needed]
