AI-written summary

Ame-no-Koyane no Mikoto is a kami from Japanese mythology, recorded in the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki as an ancestral deity of the Nakatomi and Fujiwara clans. He is closely associated with ritual and prayer, notably assisting in the ceremonies performed to lure the sun goddess Amaterasu out of the cave in which she had hidden herself. He is enshrined at sites such as Kasuga Taisha, and some traditions and modern practitioners regard him as connected to prosperity and success in undertakings, though this is a devotional association rather than a claim of guaranteed benefit.
