Kojiki says that Toyouke-bime was the child of Wakumusubi who was born of urine of Izanami (The Female Who Invites), and was enshrined at Watarai of Geku (the outer shrine) after tensonkorin (the descent to earth of the grandson of the sun goddess).
古事記ではイザナミの尿から生まれたワクムスビの子とし、天孫降臨の後、外宮の度相（わたらい）に鎮座したと記されている。
