The Gwisil clan (Kwi-sil; 鬼室氏, Japanese: Kishitsu) were a collateral branch of the royal family of the Korean kingdom of Baekje, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea who settled in Japan. They descended from the third son of the 26th king, Seong of Baekje, whose name is unknown. The characters "鬼" and "室" literally mean "demon" and "house".[1]
