Amaterasu

Amaterasu is part of the Shinto cosmology. She was first used by Chaosium in 2005 for its Call of Cthulhu role-playing game as an Elder God. However, it is stated that this classification should be taken loosely and used as a basis of comparison with Cthulhu Mythos creatures.Secrets of Japan, Michael Dziesinski, Chaosium (2005), p.216
