Who is Kouu the tyrant king?


I'm reading the manga "Reincarnation no Kaben": there, the main characters get
some powers from their previous lives, and hence are named after famous people
of history.

I managed to find all of them except who the main antagonist should be: he is
named after "Kouu the tyrant king". Does someone knows who the historical
character they are referring to is? (Or is it a made up character?)




I think is a mistranslation. According to this site:
<http://tyuumokuneta.net/post-1718-1718> the original name in the manga is [項羽
/ Xiang Yu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiang_Yu), an ancient chinese
warlord.
