Ninigi (瓊瓊杵尊)

Grandson of Amaterasu, who descended from heaven to rule the land.

Ninigi is the grandson of Amaterasu, sent down from the plain of heaven to rule the land below in the episode the myths call the descent of the heavenly grandchild. Ame-no-Uzume accompanies him on that descent, which is one reason the two are found enshrined together, as they are at Karasumori Shrine in Shimbashi.
