Ōtoshi, also known as Ōtoshi-no-kami or Nigihayahi-no-mikoto, is a deity in the Shinto religion of Japan. Often referred to as Toshigami or Ōtoshi-no-kami, this god is associated with the passage of time and is often considered as the "Year God" or the "Great-Year God" due to their connection with the changing of years in Japanese traditions.
Ōtoshi is believed to be the son of the deities Susanoo and Kamu'ō-ichi-hime. He is the older brother of Inari.
