Ō clan (多氏, Ō no uji, also written as 大氏) is a descendant clan of Jimmu and Himetataraisuzu-hime. They are descended from Kamuyaimimi.[1][2]

Ō no Yasumaro was a famous member. He became head of the clan in 716 around the time he wrote the Kojiki.[3][4]

Relationship with Takemikazuchi

[edit]

Takemikazuchi was originally a local god (kunitsukami) revered by the Ō clan,[5] and was a god of maritime travel.[5] However, the Nakatomi clan who also has roots in this region, and when they took over control of priestly duties from the Ō clan, they also instituted Takemikazuchi as the Nakatomi clan's ujigami (clan deity). Or so this is the observation by Iwao Ōwa [ja] in his Jinja to kodai ōken saishi (1989). He goes on to theorize that the Ō clan was originally ōmi (大忌, "greater taboo (priesthood)"), but was usurped by the Nakatomi who were among the "lesser priesthood" (the latter claims descent from the Inbe clan (忌部氏)).[5]
