According to historical tradition, Cico was the first king (Kolano) of Ternate in Maluku Islands, Indonesia. His regnal years are given as 1257–1277. Being originally chief of Sampalu village by the coast, he was acknowledged as ruler by the other village leaders in Ternate, starting a dynasty that is still in existence. There are however, several versions of the foundation story, some of which say that Mashur-ma-lamo (Jawi: مشهور ملامو‎), son of the Arab immigrant Jafar Sadik, was the first king.
