Raden Patah, also known as Jin Bun (Javanese: ꦫꦢꦺꦤ꧀ꦦꦠꦃ; Chinese: 靳文; pinyin: Jìn wén) (1455 in Jepara – 1518 in Demak) was the first sultan of the Demak Sultanate. Ascending to the throne in 1475, he remained a vassal of the Majapahit Empire until 1478. Raden Patah took the title Panembahan Jimbun after legitimizing the Sultanate of Demak as the successor state to the Majapahit Empire, with the Wali Sanga appointing him the Sultan of Demak. The historian Merle Calvin Ricklefs distinguishes Raden Patah from a Muslim named Cek-ko-po, saying that Cek-ko-po was an outsider, most likely from China, who apparently founded the Sultanate of Demak and had a son who might have been named "Rodim", who the Portuguese also referred to by that name. Meanwhile, Tomé Pires, in his book Suma Oriental, said that "Pate Rodim" was the ruler of Demak who ruled the Palembang area. Then, one source said that it is widely believed that the Demak Sultanate was founded in 1500 by a Chinese Muslim named Cek-ko-po or his son, Raden Patah. He was succeeded by Adipati/Lord Pati Unus and Trenggana.
