The Nihon Shoki mentions her children as Emperor Suinin, Izanomawaka, Kunikatahime, Chijitsukuyamatohime, and Yamatohiko,[3][4][5] whereas in the Kojiki she has another child named Igahime.[4][5] The Nihon Shoki also states that she had her children with Emperor Sujin before her ascension as empress consort.[3][6] While the Nihon Shoki does not give a name for her father, the Kojiki gives her father's name as Prince Ōhiko.[7][4][5][6]
