In Hotsumatsutae, where Wakahirume is described more in detail than in the Kojiki and the Nihonshoki (Chronicles of Japan), it is described that it was the premarital name of Waka-hime (personal name was Hiruko, Hiruko-hime), the goddess of waka (a traditional Japanese poem of thirty-one syllables), who was the sister goddess named after Wakahito, the personal name of Amaterasu Omikami.
