UCR reports Hirado Buntan seed received by the USDA-ARS U.S. Horticulture Research Station in Orlando, Florida, in 1965. The same source separately identifies CRC 4122 as a pink-fleshed seedling selection of standard Hirado, made presumably in Florida during 1970–1980; it does not explicitly connect that selection to a particular seed shipment.

UCR describes CRC 4122 as a pink-fleshed seedling selection of standard Hirado Buntan, presumed to have been made in Florida during 1970–1980. This selection is distinct from the original yellow-fleshed Japanese Hirado Buntan. The source does not identify its seed tree or connect the selection to a particular 1965 seed lot.

UCR’s CRC 4122 account says Hirado Buntan originated as a chance seedling. Citrus ID attributes to Hodgson (1967) the more specific account that it was a chance seedling in Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. The consulted sources do not identify the seed parent, pollen parent, discoverer, or date it arose.
