Shingon Tachikawa Buddhism identifies Amaterasu as the deity they worship, .Fate/EXTRA CCC - Chapter 3: Crimson Lips of Love and Hate – Alter Ego / M –

===Appearance===
She appears as a large, nine-tailed being similar to Tamamo, but those entering the mausoleum while not in a dream would only see a huge sun.

===Personality===
Amaterasu is gleefully bloodthirsty when interacting with Hakuno Kishinami. Amaterasu had originally intended to eat Hakuno, but their refusal to be intimidated and sheer audacity impresses her enough to spare them and send them back to the present.
Amaterasu finds her one-tailed future self so utterly pathetic that she expresses the desire to reach through space-time and smite her after she's through eating Caster's beloved Master. The feeling is mutual, as Caster is disdainful towards her past self and went out of her way to avoid becoming her again even if she were to regain her full power.

Upon obtaining her Origin Form, Tamamo's Mythological Formal Wear resembles her clothing. After Hakuno Kishinami touched Tamamo's Origin, Amaterasu saw the future and decided to kidnap her future self's Master from the future spacetime to the past in the Age of Gods, during a dream-like state, ignoring any possible time paradoxes. While someone entering her mausoleum would normally be burnt to a cinder, Hakuno Kishinami display their usual "reckless bravery" to converse with her.Fate/EXTRA CCC - Tamamo-no-Mae route - Secret Garden Third Event
===Fate/Grand Order===
During the Tunguska Event, an Oriental Sun Goddess (implied to have been Amaterasu) and Dobrynya Nikitich were there to witness the birth of a new Nature Spirit Tamamo Vitch Koyanskaya. While the Sun Goddess deems her to be her child as anyone born from celestial phenomena would be, she gives all of the responsibility of dealing with her to Dobrynya. And while Dobrynya is the one to name the nature spirit, him being a Servant means that he disappears shortly after the event, leaving the now Koyanskaya alone.Fate/Grand Order - Tunguska Sanctuary: Anti-Primate Ecosphere - Section 13: Love is Karma, and Karma is───Fate/Grand Order - Dobrynya Nikitich's Profile, translated by fallacies
==Abilities==
Amaterasu is perceived by Hakuno Kishinami as something much more fiendish than a Divine Spirit, much less a Heroic Spirit. In fact, she calls herself an Evil of Man, candidate for the Beast-class. As with Kingprotea, Amaterasu is a very powerful being who could only be overcome through the strength of several Servants. In fact, Amaterasu is an Evil Spirit capable of easily defeating 100 or more Heroic Spirits. Tamamo-no-Mae states that if she were to regain her past strength by regrowing her nine tails, she would become a great demon strong enough to destroy "3,000 worlds."This refers not to a literal "three thousand worlds", but rather the Nicheren Buddhist term for "all phenomena and their varied functions" meaning Amaterasu is a threat to the itself. An avatar of the apocalypse itself and a threat great enough to rival the King of Magecraft and his Human Incineration Order.Fate/Grand Order - Tamamo-no-Mae Interlude II: Nine-tailed Fox In Fate/EXTRA and CCC, Arcueid Brunestud (Berserker) with her sanity restored is stated to be about the only one who is capable of bringing Golden White Face down to a level where "it’s possible to defeat her no matter how slim the possibility", thanks to being able to reduce the power of her opponents to a sixth of their usual. This confirms that Amaterasu's power reigns supreme, and that not even Buddha, Kiara Sessyoin, BB or Hakuno's Servants (Nero Claudius, No Name, Tamamo-no-Mae or Gilgamesh depending on the player's preferences) empowered by the Mythological Mystic Code would be able to face her.
Amaterasu is a Divine Spirit of such great class that the time axis has almost no bearing on her. Way back in an era far in the past, long before 2030 AC, Amaterasu felt a disturbance when she was fast asleep, due to Hakuno Kishinami coming into contact with Tamamo-no-Mae's Origin, the Mythological Mystic Code of the Sun. By looking into the future, she saw the stupidity of her future self, and decided to summon her Master to the past in order to meet them. When standing before her inside her temple, Hakuno stated that the atmosphere was filled with True Ether, a type of Magical Energy completely alien to a Magus of the virtual spiritron world. They state that anyone with just a bit of intelligence would immediately understand that that place is an impenetrable sanctuary, a cannibalistic demonic temple of no return. Her tails are also described as a massive vortex of Magical Energy which emit the golden light of the Sun. Being Tamamo-no-Mae's true nature, the incarnation of a nation ruining harlot, Amaterasu transcends human knowledge and comprehension. This is only natural, as the foundation of her being comes from an offering to the sun. Thus, the scale of her existence is equivalent to it. Her mere gaze is enough to turn people to ash. Hakuno describes her as an impossible existence, and believes that she cannot be described easily. Her titanic and overwhelming presence disoriented Hakuno's sense of distance, and even though she seemed gigantic, it was obvious that they were still far way from her.
In terms of raw strength, the White Titan Sefar is stated to be comparable to Amaterasu, due to possessing a power level of 300,000,000 in her seventh stage, whereas the legendary Golden White Face’s nine-tailed form stands at 387,420,489, just like Tamamo-no-Mae in her nine-tailed form. Altera has a bonus modifier against the World, so Gods who embody the aspects of nature are at a disadvantage against her. Most God's Divinity comes from Earth, but the Sun belongs to the universe. In terms of raw force, Tamamo-no-Mae states that She could be on par with Velber.Fate/EXTELLA - Orchid Words Arc; Chapter 5: Extella of the Umbral Star II -Mare Carcer, the Titan's Dark Tomb- However, Tamamo stated twice that she was among the Gods that were vanquished by Sefar.Fate/EXTELLA - Orchid Words Arc; Final Chapter: There Will Be a Tomorrow -???-Fate/EXTELLA - Golden Poem Arc; Chapter 5: To the One I Adore -Mare Carcer, the Titan's Dark Womb- When Sefar was finally released in the Moon Cell, she stated that there is no way to stop Sefar, and that she had known she wouldn't be able to save Hakuno Kishinami all along. As the embodiment of the Sun, Tamamo knows everything that happened 14,000 years ago. Thus, she admitted having lost to the White Titan before, and that she knew in her very bones that they would be no match for the Umbral Star. Out of all the Gods that fought Sefar, none were able to bypass her Magical Energy Absorption skill, which converts the Magical Energy of her opponent's attacks into fuel and energy for Sefar's use. Only the Holy Sword was powerful enough to defeat Sefar, and Zeus after combining with the other Olympians was only able to repel the White Titan in close fight that was approximately a draw.

==Development==
===Creation and Conception===
The original design for her was to be a "naked nine-tails spin on the naked apron", but was given formalwear to keep the "ethical barrier" from being breached. However, the concept appears to be later used for Tamamo Cat's design with her wearing the naked apron in her final ascensions.
