Emperor Sujin, the 10th emperor, may have been a real historical figure. The emperors from Emperor Ōjin are considered as perhaps factual.

Emperor Sujin's year of death in the Chinese zodiac was Boshin, close to the year of Himiko's death. It is clear that Himiko was a kind of priestess from the legend of her marriage to the deity of Mt. Miwa, and from the story of Nichiya Hitosaku, Yaya Kamisaku.
According to the chronicle Nihon Shoki, Emperor Sujin appealed to Mount Miwa's kami when Japan was crippled by plague. In response, the kami Ōmononushi demanded rituals be performed for him at Mount Miwa. He then demanded that the rites be led by Ōtataneko , his half-kami, half-human son born from the union with a woman of the Miwa clan.
