Hoderi claimed that Hoori should give back the fish-hook, for he refused to accept another one (due to the belief that each tool is animated and hence unique).

His brother forgave him after he returned the hook, and Toyotama-hime gave birth to a son named Ugayafukiaezu.

During the time when Toyotama-hime was giving birth to her child, she had Hoori swear not to attempt to see her real figure.

But he broke his promise and discovered her true form was a dragon (specifically a wani).

Hoori is part of the three generations of Hyuga, a period between Tenson kōrin and Jimmu's Eastern Expedition.
