Kami of the Kojiki
Kumanokusubi no Mikoto
熊野久須毘命
In the pledge (ukei) between Amaterasu Ōmikami and Susanoo no Mikoto, this kami came into being from the misty breath that Susanoo no Mikoto blew out after receiving the jewels wound on Amaterasu Ōmikami's right hand and chewing them. He is the fifth of the five male kami regarded as the children of Amaterasu Ōmikami.
