According to an anecdote in "Shintoshu" (a collection of Shinto legends), which is believed to have been compiled by the descendants of Choken AGUI during the period of the Northern and Southern Courts in Japan, Emperor Suizei had a taste for cannibalism and ate as many as seven people every day, terrifying people around him.
なお、南北朝時代(日本)に安居院澄憲の子孫によって編まれたとされる『神道集』によれば、綏靖天皇には食人の趣味があり、朝夕に7人もの人々を食べ、周囲を恐怖に陥れたという。
