Family

• Amaterasu(parent),Amatsuhikone(sibling),Ikutsuhikone(sibling),Kumanokusubi(sibling),Oshihomimi(sibling)— Miraculous

  During the ukei oath trial with Susanoo, Amaterasu's magatama beads were chewed and spat forth as five male kami — Oshihomimi, Ame-no-Hohi, Amatsuhikone, Ikutsuhikone, and Kumanokusubi — whom she claimed as her own children, proof of her pure intentions.

  ⚠ The Kojiki attributes the five male gods to Amaterasu as the owner of the source material (magatama), though Susanoo performed the chewing. The Nihon Shoki offers variant attributions across its parallel accounts.
