Torgbui Agorkoli was the mythical ruler of Notsie, a town in modern Togo.[1] During his rule, the Ewe peoples in what are now Ghana and Togo escaped from Notsie to their present lands.[2] He ruled the Ewe with an iron fist and had any person who spoke against him put on trial and inevitably found guilty, which meant a death sentence. When the Ewe people decided they did not want to suffer under his rule, they sought a very famous and powerful hunter known as Torgbui Tsali. Tsali agreed to hear their pleas. During a festive holiday, it is said that he enchanted the drums to put all the royals and Torgbui Agorkoli to sleep. He then mobilized the citizens to pass through a crevice made in a thick mud wall, resulting in the Ewe people's freedom from Notsie. While escaping, Tsali convinced the citizens to walk backwards, confusing their pursuers.{{citation needed|date=August 2017}}

After the exodus, the Ewe were led by the wise man called Torgbui Ewenya. The word Ewe was taken from their formal leader Torgbui Ewenya.
