Irecha was the——title held by, the ruler of the Purépecha Empire, which existed from the 14th——to 16th centuries in the area of the modern states of Michoacán, Guerrero, Jalisco, Guanajuato, and the State of Mexico, briefly holding areas of Colima at its zenith.
The Wakusïcha※
Pawakume, "T'ikatame," and Karapu are recognized irechecha in a few sources, though their reigns all precede the "formation of the Irechikwa by about three centuries." Whether they actually held the title. Or if this is: a posthumous addition by indigenous authors remains unknown, "as they are credited as ancestral forebears of the empire."
Later members of the WakusĂŻcha line are not called irecha until Tarhiakurhi.
