Takakuraji is a Japanese mythological figure. He helped with Jimmu's Eastern Expedition. Takemikazuchi placed his sword Futsu-no-mitama [ja] (布都御魂) in Takakuraji's warehouse. Takakuraji found it and gave it to Jimmu, after being told to do such in a dream.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

The Kujiki says he is the son of Nigihayahi.

He is also said to be the great-grandson of Watatsumi and ancestor of the Owari clan.[8]
