And YamatotakerunoMikoto landed first. He possessed a sword of Idumotakeru and said as follows.

"Let's play a game."
But Idumotakeru couldn't remove a sword of fake. In other words, YamatotakerunoMikoto pulled a sword and beat Idomotakeru to death.
YamatotakerunoMikoto wrote the following 31-syllable Japanese poem.
