Amenooshihomimi (天忍穗耳尊,天之忍穂耳命) [1] [2] or Oshihomimi for short, is the first son of Amaterasu. [3]
He is believed to be the ancestor to the Japanese Imperial family. [4]
Amenooshihomimi name means "Ruling Rice Ears of Heaven". He also goes by other names like Masakatsu-akatsukachi-hayahi-ame-no-oshihomimi which means "Truly Winning Have I Won with Rushing Might Ruling Grand Rice Ears of Heaven". [1][ better source needed]
He was born out of a kami making competition between Amaterasu and Susanoo.
In many versions, Susanoo took Amaterasu's beads and crushed them within his mouth, which created five male kami. [5] [1] The first one to be born was Amenooshihomimi, second was Ame-no-hohi, third was Amatsuhikone, fourth was Ikutsuhikone, and Kumanokusubi was the fifth. [3] [6] [7] [8]
In some versions, Amaterasu gave Amenooshihomimi a bronze mirror and this mirror, called Yata no Kagami. [9] In many versions, Amenooshihomimi is the first to be offered as the ruler of earth however, he turns it down. [10] [11]
He fell in love with Takuhadachiji-hime, and then later on fathered Ninigi-no-Mikoto. [12] [13]
