Hibigami is a female [[kami|deity]], a sun goddess, traditionally paired with the male deity [[Hachiman]]. The two are worshipped together at [[Usa Hachiman Shrine]] (one of the oldest Hachiman shrines in Japan) and at many other Hachiman shrines throughout the country. Within the system of ''[[honji suijaku]]'', Hibigami is considered a manifestation of the [[bodhisattva]] [[Jinbun]].
