Before keyhole shaped mounds became the standard, a wide variety of mounds of differing shapes and sizes could be found all over Japan. These can be classed into the main types: 1. empun: round tomb mound; 2. zempo koen fun: front-square and rear-round tomb mound; 3. zempo koho fun: front-square and rear-square tomb mound; 4. hofun: square tomb mound
