People with mimi in their names include Suga no Yatsumimi, Futimi no Kami [ja; simple; fr], Torimimi [ja], Tahiriki Shimarumi no Kami [ja], who appear in the Izumo myth of the Kojiki. Amenohibara Oshinomi no Kami [ja] is also considered a regional chief

Overview[change | change source]

She is a Kunitsukami [en; fr] that appears only in the Kojiki . She is the daughter of Yashimamujino-no-Mikoto [simple; ja] and the sixth wife of Okuninushi-no-Mikoto . In addition to Tottori-no-kami, the name is also written as Torimimi (鳥耳神) and Torikai no Kaim (鳥甘神).[1]

“Mimi" and "Mi" are Japanese words that can be found in many names related to ancient Japan. They are very common in names of royal family members.[2] They're also found in names of leaders, people, and objects. "Mi" can mean "divine spirit" and can be a part of names for deities. For example, the terms "Watatsumi" and "Ōyamatsumi" mean "sea spirit" and "mountain spirit" respectively and both use the version 霊.[3]

Spellings include Mimi (ミミ、耳、彌彌、美美) and MI (彌、見、美、海、看).

In ancient Japanese historical texts like "Kojiki" and "Nihonshoki", people with "Mi" or "Mimi" in their names were often leaders in their regions. For instance, "Kamotaketsunumi no Mikoto [en]" ruled in the Izumi and Settsu regions, "Kugamimi" ruled in the Tamba region, and "Masakitsumimi" ruled in the Tajima region.[4] and minor chiefs named Hatatsumi and Kijimatsumi are mentioned.[4]

In ancient Japan, birds were believed to carry human souls, and catching them was a religious ritual, so the name is thought to mean "catching birds" [5] .
