The family characteristics of Hata Uji are generally defined as Labor work groups, local-oriented, and lower-class clan groups, and this perception is supported by many researchers. However, if you look closely at Rikokushi(六国史), Shinsen- shojiroku(新撰姓氏録), it is easy to see that Hata Uji was the largest clan group in Japanese ancient times. Therefore, there is a gap between recognition and facts and the intent of this study is to try to convert them. According to Rikokushi's records, in the early days of the ancient tombs, Hata Uji was already a major force and a large group already accounting for 8 percent of Japan's total population. In the 700s, the collective residence records of Hata Uji spreaded nationwide. In particular, Hata groups showed such enormous economic power that it would not be possible without their financial support for the construction of Emperor's palace. Based on their economic power, Hata Uji founded Hachiman Jinja(八幡神社), Inari Jinja(稲荷神社) and Shimogamo Jinja(下鴨神社), which are loved by numerous Japanese even now In the ancient times, there are three points where the Korean immigrants arrived in Japan. First, it is a route that they departed from the south coast and arrived in Kyushu(九州). Hata Uji in this area established Hachiman Jinja. The second route was stopping over at Izumo(出雲) and they arrived in Tsuruga(敦賀) and finally settled in Oumi(近江). Hata Uji worshipped Shilla Myojin(新羅明神) in Onjoji Temple(園城寺) in Oumi(近江). The last route was that they arrived at Naniwa(難波) via Setonaikai(瀬戸内海) and settled in Katsuragi Gose(葛城御所) where was the native land of both Yamashiro Hata Uji(山城秦氏), and Kamo Uji(賀茂氏) who established Shimo- Kamojinja in Kyoto(京都). Minamoto Yoshiie(源義家), Yoshitsuna(義綱) and Yoshimitsu(義光) who were the middle ancestors of Minamoto Yoritomo(源頼朝), the founder of Kamakura Bakufu(鎌倉幕 府), held an adult ceremony in front of God Yamata (八幡神), God Kamo(賀茂大明神) and Shilla Myojin(新羅明神) respectively and each was called by Yawata Taro（八幡太郎), Kamojiro(賀茂次 郎) and Shillasaburo(新羅三朗), depending on each God's name.
