Hikofutooshimakoto

Hikofutooshimakoto (彦太忍信命) was the son of Emperor Kōgen and Ikagashikome.¹²

The nihongi says that he was the grandfather of Takeuchi no Sukune.²

The kojiki, however, states he was the father of Takeuchi, through his marriage to Yamashitakage. He is also said to have also married Takachinahime, and together they had a child called Umashi Uchi.¹
