There exact number of her children differs between the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki. In the Kojiki she and her husband have 3, Tokotsuhikoirone, Emperor Itoku, and Shikitsuhiko.[3] Yet in the Nihon Shoki they have another, Ikisomimi.[4] only the Kojiki states her father as Kamo no Okimi.[3][5] The Empress's life is not recorded in the Kojiki or Nihon Shoki but for her family and titles.[3][4][6]
