In Shinto mythology, Kushinadahime is a deity (kami) and the wife of the deity Susanoo.
In Shinto legends about Susanoo, notably in the Kojiki: An Account of Ancient Matters, Ashinazuchi was the father of Kushi Inada Hime (or Kushinada Hime), a young woman of the Izumo region who was to be sacrificed to an eight-headed monster, Yamata no Orochi, who haunted the region. She was saved from death by Susanoo, who killed the dragon and then married her. Her mother named her Tenazuchi (other versions have Tenazuchi as Ashinazuchi’s wife). As for Ashinazuchi, he was said to be the son of Oyamazumi no Kami of Izumo.
We draw an inference here that the royal lineages from Izumo, downstream of Ashinazuchi, father of Kushi Inada Hime, were possibly of the Hun / Hunnu / Xiongnu Ashina royal clans from the continent:
“The name Ashina first appeared in the Chinese records of the 6th century, and prior to that no other sources had related their history at all.
The Great Soviet Encyclopaedia infers that between the years 265 and 460 the Ashina had been part of various late Xiongnu confederations.
About 460 they were subjugated by the Rouran, who ousted them from Xinjiang into the Altay Mountains, where the Ashina gradually emerged as the leaders of the early Turkic confederation, known as the Gokturks.
