This article is dealing with history of Gaya, ancient league of states in Korean Peninsula in the 5th century, from Korean and Japanese textbook of history. Korean highschool texts describe Gaya in three ways. First, it says Gaya fell during united kingdom phase, and focuses on Geumkwan-Gaya and Dea-Gaya only. Second, the textbooks say the main reason of Gaya's fall is pressure from Beakje and Silla. Third, even though highschool textbook is using historical method of section system, we can't find many mention of Gaya history. All of 11 Japanese textbooks are sorted by three ways. First, it is interesting Japanese textbook call Gaya in different
name. Second, it is relationship between Gaya and Yamato government. In the 5th and 6th century, their history is too modified in bad way. It has problems that students could think Gaya is colony of Japan. Third, Gaya's immigrants culture. We can find Gaya's immigrants culture rarely. It is same as Korean textbook. So we need more research to complete that. Gaya, had existed for more than 500 years, is not the passive government, but the active league of state.
