Kuebiko is the main name for this kami. There is also an alternate name of Yamada no sohodo (山田之曾富騰), mentioned in the Kojiki.. Kuebiko comes from kueru (), an archaic verb meaning "to break down; to become shabby and disordered", plus hiko (), an old epithet for "boy, young man", in turn from hi ko (日 子), literally "sun child".
Japanese gods and goddesses, called kami, are uniquely numerous (there are at least eight million) and varied in power and stature. [1] They are usually descendants from the original trio of gods that were born from nothing in the primordial oil that was the world before the kami began to shape it.
Inomata Tokiwa, a lecturer at Kyoritsu Women's Junior College, analyzes this saying that it tells of how even though Sukuna-hikona is a god who created the nation as well and the creator god of chemical technology such as drugs (medicine) and alcohol, "wisdom" by itself is not a representation of societal orderliness.
