Hoderi
, in Japanese mythology and folklore, was a deity of the bounty of the sea and enchanted fisherman. He is called in the Kojiki, and or in the Nihon Shoki. In Japanese mythology, he appears with his younger brother Yamasachi-hiko (Hoori). When the fishhook he lent to his younger brother is lost at sea, he demands its return rather than accepting any compensation. Later, Hoderi is defeated after attacking Hoori (who has obtained mastery of the tides with a magic jewel) and vows to serve his younger brother forever onward.
