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]
