Omodaru

Omodaru (淤母陀琉神, Entirely Engorged) was the brother and husband of Anakashikone. He with his sister were the 6th Generation of Shinto kami. His name can also be read as Surface Complete or Fully Formed.¹

The Nihongi agrees he was the 6th Generation of kamit to come into existence though it gives him the name Omo-taru. Another version of the Nihongi states he was part of the 3rd Generation of kami in a line of only 4 Generations.²
