First-generation demigod by strict criterion in the Kojiki tradition: divine father (Ōmononushi, the kami of Mt. Miwa, identified in the Kojiki as an aspect of Ōkuninushi) and mortal mother (Ikutamayoribime, "Generative-Soul-Receiving Princess"). The conception narrative is one of the most distinctive paternal-recognition tableaux in the Kojiki: a divinely-handsome man visited Ikutamayoribime nightly. Each visit she conceived. Her parents, suspicious, instructed her to scatter red clay around the bedroom and to fasten a hempen thread to the hem of the visiting man's robe. In the morning, the thread led through the keyhole and across the country to the Ōmononushi shrine at Mt. Miwa — the bobbin had only three loops left, providing the canonical Kojiki etymology of "Mi-wa" ("three loops"). The recognition revealed the father as Ōmononushi the kami of Mt. Miwa. Born as the first-generation demigod descendant. The Kojiki traces the line: Ōmononushi (deity) → Kushimikata (demigod, by Ikutamayoribime) → Iikatasumi → Takemikazuchi → Ohotataneko (the priest installed at the Ōmiwa shrine to placate the plague during the reign of Emperor Sūjin). Founded the Miwa-no-kimi clan, hereditary priests of the Ōmiwa Shrine on Mt. Miwa (Ōmiwa-san) — one of the oldest Shinto shrines, considered to predate the imperial Yamato dynasty in some traditions. The mountain itself is the shintai (object of worship); there is no honden (main hall) — the worshipper faces the mountain directly. The clan continued through the Asuka, Nara, and Heian periods as a recognized priestly lineage; the Ōmiwa-Asomi were granted Asomi rank by Emperor Tenmu in 684 CE. Kushimikata's genealogical position as the first-generation demigod son of Ōmononushi makes him one of the structurally-foundational figures of the Kojiki Book 2 mytho-historical genealogy, alongside the imperial Ninigi-Yamato lineage and the Izumo Ōkuninushi-cycle.
