Itsuse no Mikoto (Japanese: 彦五瀬命, Killed 663 BC, according to traditional dating) is a Japanese deity.[1][2] He was the older brother of Emperor Jimmu.[3][4]
His name means virtue and glory of the imperial throne.[5]
In the Kojiki and Nihongi, he died from a random arrow[6][4] during Jimmu's Eastern Expedition at a battle at the Hill of Kusaka, traditionally dated 663 BC[7][8][9][10][11] near modern day Osaka.[12] He was hit in the hand[13][14] or elbow.[15][16] He died at Mount Kama and was buried at the spot by his two remaining brothers[8][9][17][18][19] in the Kii Province.[20][17] [18][19] Some scholars believe he was Emperor before Jimmu.[8] Jimmu continued the expedition.[10][8]
He is the primary deity of Kamayama Shrine where he is buried.
