this individual was a regent for his aunt, and sent mission workers to china to establish a firm japanese culture based on chinese influences and even built the capital city nara like chinese cities.
○ a ogedai khan
○ b the yayoi
○ c empress wu
○ d prince shotoku

Explanation:

The description matches Prince Shotoku: he served as regent for his aunt Empress Suiko, sent missions to China to adopt Chinese systems, and promoted Chinese-influenced cultural and political developments in Japan, laying groundwork for later capital cities modeled on Chinese ones like Nara. Ogedai Khan was a Mongol ruler unrelated to Japan; the Yayoi are a prehistoric Japanese cultural group; Empress Wu was a Chinese ruler, not a Japanese regent.

Answer:

d. Prince Shotoku
