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]

In 660, Baekje was attacked by the allied armies of Silla and the Tang dynasty of China who had made the Silla–Tang alliance. The capital, Sabi, was taken, but Boksin resisted near modern-day Yesan. After Uija of Baekje surrendered to Tang, Boksin and the monk Dochim kindled a restoration movement known as the Baekje Revival Movement. They sent for the prince Buyeo Pung, who had been living as a hostage in Yamato period Japan, an important Baekje ally. With some Japanese aid, they gathered the remnants of the Baekje army and launched a series of attacks on the Silla-Tang forces.[2]
In 663, Silla and Tang counterattacked and besieged the restoration movement at a fortress known as Juryu Castle (Juryu-seong, 주류성/周留城) now in Seocheon County, South Chungcheong. At this point Boksin appears to have betrayed the restoration movement. He had Dochim killed and sought to slay Prince Pung as well. However, Pung killed him first, and fled to Goguryeo. The restoration movement was destroyed shortly thereafter at the Battle of Baekgang.[3]
