Emperor Kinmei, who ascended to the throne in 539 (or 531), saw a dream when he was a child; in it, he was told that if he gave promotions to a person named "HATA no Otsuchi," he would be surely successful in ruling the country when he grew up.
稲荷大神は欽明天皇が即位（539年または531年）される前のまだ幼少のある日「秦（はた）の大津父（おおつち）という者を登用すれば、大人になった時にかならずや、天下をうまく治めることができる」と言う夢を見た。
