Itsuse no Mikoto

Itsuse no Mikoto (Japanese: 彦五瀬命, Killed 663 BC, according to traditional dating) is a Japanese deity. He was the older brother of Emperor Jimmu.

His name means virtue and glory of the imperial throne.

In the Kojiki and Nihongi, he died from a random arrow during Jimmu's Eastern Expedition at a battle at the Hill of Kusaka, traditionally dated 663 BC near modern day Osaka. He was hit in the hand or elbow. He died at Mount Kama and was buried at the spot by his two remaining brothers in the Kii Province. Some scholars believe he was Emperor before Jimmu. Jimmu continued the expedition.

He is the primary deity of Kamayama Shrine where he is buried.
