Kujula Kadphises (with typo 'Kadfises' in the question) was indeed the founder of the Kushan dynasty. He unified the Yuezhi tribes and established the Kushan Empire around 30-50 CE. Kanishka was a later, more famous Kushan emperor who expanded the empire greatly. Vasumitra was a Shunga ruler, not Kushan.
