Kato Kintu

Kato Kintu Kakulukuku (fl. c. 1300), called Kato Kimera in Bunyoro, was the first Kabaka, or king, of the Kingdom of Buganda. Born at Bukasa in the Ssese Islands on Lake Nalubaale, he adopted the by-name Kintu after the first man in Ganda mythology.

He set his capital at Nnono in Busujju County and fathered three children. Ganda oral tradition holds that he died at thirty; his son Chwa I succeeded him.
