Kibitsuhiko-no-mikoto

Kibitsu-hiko-no-mikoto (吉備津彦命), also known as Hiko Isuseri-hiko no mikoto, was a legendary Japanese prince.

According to the Nihon Shoki, he was the son of Emperor Kōrei.^[1] Legend says this prince slayed an ogre called Ura, which may be the demonization of the Kingdom of Kibi, destroyed during the reign of Kōrei-Tennō.

His kami is enshrined at Shinto shrines in Okayama Prefecture and Hiroshima Prefecture.^[2]
