Nigihayahi is a Japanese god. He is mentioned in the Kojiki, Kujiki, and Nihon Shoki
He was involved with the Tenson Korin (descent of gods from Heaven). The Mononobe clan and the Hozumi clan said he was their ancestor.
The Kujiki says he is the same god as Amenohoakari but this is questionable. The book is considered a forgery.
Some books say he is the older brother of Ninigi, or the son of Ame-no-oshihomimi.
Some scholars believe his myth comes from Korea.
Jimmu's Eastern Expedition
During Jimmu's Eastern Expedition Jimmu and his brothers reached Osaka, they encountered a chieftain named Nagasunehiko ("the long-legged man"). They fought and Itsuse was killed in the ensuing battle
Nagasunehiko claimed to follow Nigihayahi. Jimmu lost, but he came back and won, Nigihayahi killed Nagasunehiko and submitted to Jimmu.
After this he recognized Jimmu as the rightful Emperor of Japan and Jimmu became Emperor.
In popular culture
He is present in Ghost of Tsushima.
