Homotsuwake no Mikoto (誉津別命), is the Son of Emperor Suinin, and Saho-hime.[1][2]
Birth[edit]
In the Kojiki, his mother had not yet given birth. As she entered her brother's palace, labour began.[2][3] The emperor was attempting to burn her brother's due to an assassination attempt, but ordered his guards turn around and let Saho-hime give birth.[2][3] Eventually the empress gave birth and told Emperor Suinin, that if he considered the child his own he could take the child himself.[2][3] Yet as the emperor goes to retrieve his wife and new born son, his wife runs away, the boy left behind. The boy is retrieved and taken away.[2][3]
Learning to speak[edit]
The Nihon Shoki version[edit]
In both the Nihon Shoki and Kojiki, there is one main myth that involves him.
By age 30 the prince did not speak and one day saw a swan, to which he finally spoke and said "what's this thing?" [1]
In the Nihon Shoki the emperor is so happy and asks someone to retrieve the swan. A man named Amano Yukaha Tana volunteers. Amano Yukaha Tana retrieves the swan, and Homotsuwake no Mikoto finally speaks. The emperor grants Amano Yukaha Tana the title of Tottori no Miyakko.[1]
