He has five components

- Ame no Koyane
- Himegami
- Ame-no-Oshikumone [ja; draft]
The four main kami enshrined at Kasuga-taisha are Ame no koyane, Himegami, Futsunushi no mikoto, and Takemikazuchi no mikoto.[1] Though these are the primary divine beings of Kasuga taisha, they are often grouped together as a syncretic, combined deity known as Kasuga Daimyōjin.[2] Kasuga Daimyōjin is composed of five divine beings and each consists of a Buddhist deity and Shinto kami counterpart. The fifth deity, Ame-no-Oshikumone, was added much later and is said to be the divine child of Ame no koyane and Himegami.[3] The importance of the multifaceted kami was that it became a template for future worshipers who wanted to combine several deities to pray to at once.[4]
