Utsushikome (欝色謎命) was empress consort of Japan from 208 BC to 157 BC, and empress dowager from 157 BC.[1][2] Her father was a man named Oyaguchi Sukune and her mother was a woman named Sakado Yuramiyakohime.[3][4]
She was the wife of Emperor Kōgen.[1] However little information exists about her. Her husband belongs to a group of Emperor's known as "Kesshi-hachidai" or "eight generations lacking history".[5] As such there is little information about her and her husband. However, both her parents are mentioned whereas typically only the fathers of Empress Consorts were ever recorded (if any of the parents were recorded in the first place).
