Nigihayahi is a Japanese deity.[1] mentioned in the Kojiki, Kujiki, and Nihon Shoki[2]
He was involved with the Tenson Korin.[3] The Mononobe clan claimed him as their ancestor.[4]
In Kujiki, Amenohoakari is considered the same kami as Nigihayahi, the ancestral god of the Hozumi and Mononobe clans, but this contradicts their generational relationships and areas of activity.[5]
He is sometimes described as the older brother of Ninigi[6], or the son of Ame-no-oshihomimi.[1]
The nature of the deity and its myths in the Kojiki, Kujiki, and Nihon Shoki all suggest a possible Korean influence.[2]
Jimmu's Eastern Expedition[edit]
During Jimmu's Eastern Expedition Jimmu and his brothers reached Naniwa (modern-day Osaka), they encountered another local chieftain, Nagasunehiko ("the long-legged man"), and Itsuse was killed in the ensuing battle[7][8] .[9][10][11][12][13][14] Nagasunehiko claimed to follow Nigihayahi.[1][14] Jimmu realized that they had been defeated because they battled eastward against the sun, so he decided to land on the east side of Kii Peninsula and to battle westward. They reached Kumano, and, with the guidance of a three-legged crow, Yatagarasu ("eight-span crow"), they moved to Yamato. There, they once again battled Nagasunehiko and were victorious.[15] Nigihayahi killed Nagasunehiko and submitted to Jimmu.[1][14]
In Yamato, Nigihayahi, who also claimed descent from the Takamagahara gods, was protected by Nagasunehiko. However, when Nigihayahi met Jimmu, he accepted Jimmu's legitimacy. At this point, Jimmu is said to have ascended to the throne of Japan.[16]
In popular culture[edit]
He is present in Ghost of Tsushima.[17]
