Further research brought me back to the Meiji Era when this name first appeared. It was then the title of this novel in Japan.

Yes, way before any manga or anime based upon this novel, Japanese knew him as the King of the Cavern and, as part of History, it's his official Japanese title, or rather the title of the book.
