Ikutsuhikone (lit. Lively little lad, 活津日子根命 (Kojiki) 活津彦根命 (Nihon Shoki)) is a God of Japanese mythology. He is a son of Amaterasu. There are many stories about his birth from different books. In most stories he was born from Amaterasu’s jewels after being chewed and spit out by Susanoo.[1][2][3][4][5]

In some stories the jewels belonged to Susanoo so he is a son of Susanoo.[1]
