Umashikarahisa

Umashikarahisa (甘美韓日狭) was the brother of Ihiirine and Izumo Furune seen mentioned during the reign of Emperor Sujin.

He is entrusted alongside his son Ukatsukunu to take Sacred Treasures to Emperor Sujin after he requests to see them.

Furune angered by this kills his brother Ihiirine as he gave them over to Umashikarahisa. After the death of their brother he and his son make a report of this to the Emperor and he despatches Kibitsuhiko and Takenumakahawake to kill Furune.¹
