Although "Nihonshoki" (Chronicle of Japan) has no description of Kunimi's role in the Jinshin War, "Shoku Nihongi" (Chronicle of Japan Continued) describes that he was given a salary of a hundred fuko (100 taxed families) for his merit, which shows he played some important role fighting for Oama no Miko in its article about July 21of the first year of the Taiho era (May 7, 701).
壬申の乱時の国見の行動は『日本書紀』に見えないが、『続日本紀』の大宝元年（701年）7月21日条には、かつて功臣として100戸の封戸を与えられたことが記されており、天武方で何らかの活躍をしたことが分かる。
