Abstract
In Korean history, Gaya has been used as Imna recorded in Nihongi. The augument for Imna can be divided into the following three aspects. The first record is the stele of the Great King Ganggaeto, the second is the Samguksagi Gangsuyeoljeon, and the third is the “Stele of Master Jingyiongdaesa Tap” found in Changwon.
 Until now, the main thesis of Gaya research has been developed based on the perception that Imna existed in the Korean Peninsula and that Imna was Gaya. In this article, we oppose the existing research results according to which the person who moved from the Gaya region to the Jungwon region was Kangsu. Kangsu’s family name is Seok, and based on the literature related to Seoktalhae, it is revealed that there is no relation with Imnagaryang and Gaya, which appear in Kangsuyeoljeon.
 The location of Imnagaryang, the hometown of Gangsu, was determined by examining the southern ocean currents on the Korean Peninsula. In conclusion, Imna, mentioned in Nihongi, is an ancient political system which completely differs from Gaya in Korea.
