In the manga and anime Sailor Moon, a character named Hino Rei uses flame magic. He is worshipped in several shrines, one of which is Atago Shrine, near Kyoto. Kagutsuchi is the patron deity of blacksmiths and ceramic workers. The name Kagutsuchi was originally a compound phrase, consisting of kagu, an Old Japanese root verb meaning "to shine" tsu, the Old Japanese possessive particle and chi, an Old Japanese root meaning "force, power". This story also contains references to traditional fire-fighting tools: gourds for carrying water and wet clay and water reeds for smothering fires. In the Engishiki, a source which contains the myth, Izanami, in her death throes, bears the water god Mizuhanome, instructing her to pacify Kagu-tsuchi if he should become violent. Kagutsuchi's birth, in Japanese mythology, comes at the end of the creation of the world and marks the beginning of death. Kagutsuchi’s corpse created numerous deities, which typically includes Watatsumi, Kuraokami, Takemikazuchi, Futsunushi, Amatsumikaboshi, and Ōyamatsumi. 
His father Izanagi, in his grief, beheaded Kagutsuchi with his sword, Ame no Ohabari (天之尾羽張), and cut his body into eight pieces, which became eight volcanoes.
Kagutsuchi's birth burned his mother Izanami, causing her death.
