Nezumi

First to arrive in the race is the rat Nezumi, usually depicted in a negative light as a whole, but is still seen as an accepted symbol of worship. As with all the gods, people recognize the negative and positive aspects of their pantheon and ensure that the gods are worshipped as a whole as well as individually.

==Tales==
Nezumi arrived first for the race of the Zodiac, though not entirely on their own power. When they had to cross a river too wide for their small frame, they asked Ushi the ox for help. Ushi carried Nezumi across the river on the condition that Ushi cross the finish first as it was within sight. Nezumi agreed but just before reaching the other side, they jumped the remaining distance and dashed across first, leaving Ushi in second. This fueled a rivalry that later became a staple of the domain of Ushi.
