In the mythology, these tales are compared to 'the myth of Susanoo' in the Kojiki and the Nihonshoki, in which Susanoo was said to be crying all the time even after he had arrived at manhood, and to 'the myth of Azisukitakahikone' in the Izumo no kuni Fudoki, in which Azisukitakahikone was not able to speak.
これらの話は神話研究では、記紀でのスサノオが大人になっても泣いてばかりであったことや、また『出雲国風土記』でのアヂスキタカヒコネが口が利けなかったという神話と比較されている。
