Issik Qaghan (Chinese: 乙息記可汗 Yǐxījì kěhàn; personal name: Ashina Keluo 阿史那科罗) was the second ruler of the Turkic Khaganate.

Name

His name is reconstructible in Middle Chinese as *kʰuâ-lâ, which transliterated either non-Turkic *Kvara or Old Turkic Qara.[1]

Rule

During his brief rule, he defeated the Rouran khagan Yujiulü Dengzhu. He is recorded to have sent a tribute of 50,000 horses to Western Wei in May 553. He died the same year.[2]
