Kiyomaro was exiled to [[Osumi province|Ôsumi province]] in Kyushu due to Dôkyô's influence at court. On his way to Ôsumi, he was attacked by Dôkyô's men and suffered a serious injury in his leg; it is said, however, that 300 wild boars appeared and escorted him 40 kilometers to Usa Hachimangû, where his leg was miraculously healed.
