[edit]

Irbis Ishbara Yabgu Qaghan was a son of Genna Shad (伽那设), thus a nephew of El Kulug Shad.[1] However, according to some sources he was a son of Ashina Tong.[2] He was acknowledged as khagan by Emperor Taizong of Tang. He sent governors to the Tarim Basin, Tashkent, Samarkand and Bactria to assert his rule.[1] However, he was killed by men on the orders of Yukuk Shad in 641.
