Zheng Chenggong, better known in the West by his Hokkien honorific Koxinga or Coxinga (Chinese: 國姓爺; pinyin: Guóxìngyé; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Kok-sèng-iâ) was a Chinese-Japanese Ming loyalist who resisted the Qing conquest of China's southeastern coast. Conquering the Dutch outposts on Taiwan, he established a dynasty which ruled the island as the Kingdom of Tungning.
Zheng Sen was born in 1624 in Hirado, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan, to Zheng Zhilong, a Chinese merchant and pirate, and a Japanese woman, recorded only by her surname Tagawa, or probably Tagawa Matsu. He was raised there until the age of seven with the Japanese name Fukumatsu (Japanese: 福松?), and then moved to Nan'an county in Quanzhou in Fujian province of China.
