Hikoyai-no-Mikoto[1][2] was a member of a Japanese imperial family according to the Kojiki..[3][2] He was the eldest of three princes born to Empress Himetataraisuzu-hime on the banks of the Sakai River.[2][4][5] He is not mentioned in the "Nihon Shoki" and is not known by any other name. Hikoyai-no-Mikoto's father was Emperor Jimmu, and his brothers were Kamuyaimimi and Emperor Suizei.
After Jimmu died, Empress Himetataraisuzu-hime married Tagishimimi, her stepson. Tagishimimi tried to kill the brothers but was instead killed by Suizei, who became the second emperor. Hikoyai-no-Mikoto did not have an active role in the story and did not play a significant part in the narrative. This is common in Japanese mythology where some brothers do not play a major role.[3]
