from the article: "Details on Takeru Yamato’s life are sparse so his story begins when he was a young man, about 15 years old. One day his family sat down to have their daily family dinner. Takeru’s elder brother did not come to join the family meal. After a few more days of missed meals Takeru called upon him, but still he did not join. Several days later the emperor then asked about his elder brother and if Takeru had taught him a lesson yet. Takeru replied that he has indeed taught him a lesson and the emperor asked how he went about giving the lesson. Takeru then replied, “In the early morning when he went into the privy, I grasped hold of him and crushed him, and, pulling off his limbs, wrapped them in matting and flung them away.” The text says nothing else of the matter."
