Tajikarao no kami is a kami whose name means "heaven-hand power", and he has a role in the story of Amaterasu hiding in a cave, in which the kami Omoikane proposed a plan to lure Amaterasu out of hiding. In the plan, birds were gathered and made to call out, norito litanties were offered, and the kami Ame-no-Uzume presented an entertaining dance in front of the cave. Out of curiosity, Amaterasu opened the rock door slightly to peer out, only for Tajikarao to grab her hand and pull her out of the cave.
