Kušuḫ was incorporated into the Hittite pantheon alongside other Hurrian deities. He is among the members of the Hurrian pantheon depicted in the Yazılıkaya sanctuary, where he is placed between Šauška's handmaidens Ninatta and Kulitta and the sun god Šimige in the procession of deities following Teššub. Hurrian deities, such as Kušuḫ, commonly appear in theophoric names of rulers in areas under Hittite influence. For example, Hittite prince Piyaššili after being appointed the king of Carchemish by his father Šuppiluliuma I took the regnal name Šarri-Kušuḫ, "Kušuḫ is (my) king."
