Kumatsuhiko the Elder

Kumatsuhiko the Elder is a man seen during the reign of Emperor Keikō in the nihongi.

He is presumably the brother of Kumatsuhiko the Younger and the two of them are requested by the Emperor. The older of the two accepts the request, however, the younger doesn’t and so is put to death.¹
