===War between Anaho and Kinashi=== After Emperor Ingyō's death in 453 AD, Crown Prince [[Prince Kinashi no Karu|''Kinashi no Karu'']] faced a mounting problem. The [[incest]]uous relationship with his sister, Princess Karu no Ōiratsume had caused the public to shun him and his [[Affinity (medieval)|retainers]] refused to follow.<ref name="Fane1"/><ref name="Aston1"/> Karu chose to take up arms against his younger brother {{Nihongo|Anaho|穴穂}} as his retainers had instead given their allegiance to him.<ref name="Aston1"/><ref name="Kojikiwar">{{cite web|url=https://sacred-texts.com/shi/kj/kj149.htm|title=Sect. CXLII - Emperor Ingyō (Part VI - War Between Prince Karu and Prince Anaho)|author=Basil Hall Chamberlain|work=A translation of the "Kojiki" or Records of ancient matters|publisher=R. Meiklejohn and Co.|year=1882}}</ref> Prince {{Nihongo|Anaho|穴穂}} responded with a force of his own which prompted Karu to flee and take refuge at a noble family's residence.<ref name="Aston1"/><ref name="Kojikiwar"/> From this point on, the ''Kiki'' splits narratives that converge again with the same fatal outcome. In the ''[[Nihon Shoki]]'s'' version of events, ''Kinashi no Karu'' takes his final stand at the residence where he commits an honorary suicide.<ref name="Aston1"/> The Nihon Shoki does not say what happened to Princess Karu no Ōiratsume other than her being banished to [[Iyo Province|Iyo]] by Emperor Ingyō during his lifetime for incest. In the ''[[Kojiki]]s'' version of events, ''Kinashi no Karu'' surrenders to his younger brother and is banished to Iyo. Karu no Ōiratsume follows him to Iyo afterwards and the two commit [[Honor suicide|suicide together]].<ref name="Fane1"/><ref>{{cite web|url=https://sacred-texts.com/shi/kj/kj150.htm|title=Sect.
