Oumitsunu is a legendary king of Izumo mentioned in the Fudoki, a mythical record of his history of Japan. He was a demigod, being the grandson of Susano-O, and had the size and strength of a giant, which he used to pull land via ropes to expand his kingdom. His tale is similar to the Daidara-bocchi, also of Japanese lore, and the Polynesian Maui.
