*''Japanese'': 長髄彦 or 長脛彦 ''(Nagasunehiko)''
Nagasunehiko is a mythological figure who appears in the ''[[Nihon shoki]]''. A regional ruler, he opposes [[Emperor Jimmu]] in the latter's conquests, fighting Jimmu to a standstill both at Kusaka, and again in Kii or [[Yamato province|Yamato]].
Nagasunehiko is eventually defeated by Jimmu's forces, who are aided by the heavenly bird [[Yatagarasu]]. Defeated, Nagasunehiko is later killed by his own overlord.
