She is summoned to the Emperor in the nihongi alongside her sisters Matonuhime, Hibasuhime, Nubatanoiribika and Takanohime by the Emperor after his first wife, Sahobime, recommended them as future marriage candidates.

She was then made one of his concubines and together they had Ikobayawake and Azamitsuhime.123
