She was treated as the most sacred of all Shinto Pantheon, only beneath Izanagi himself, and is said to be a direct ancestor of the Japanese Imperial dynasty. Her name, Amaterasu, means "(that which) illuminates Heaven." Her shrine is at Ise.

Amaterasu is the Japanese sun goddess who rules over the Takamagahara. Amaterasu is the daughter of Izanami, Goddess of Death and Izanagi, God of Creation whom the latter chose her to be the new ruler of the sky.

She is the younger sister of Kagutsuchi and the older sister of Susanoo, God of the Storm and Tsukuyomi, Goddess of the Moon. She is the Shinto Goddess of the Sun and the Universe and is said to be the most powerful deity in the entirety of the Shinto Pantheon.

Amaterasu constantly quarreled with her mischievous younger brother Susanoo and finally having enough, Izanagi temporary exiled him from heaven.

## Appearance

She has snow-white hair reaching down to her back that splits into nine tails. On top of her head is a pair of fluffy wolf ears. Her eyes are red with a white pupil. Amaterasu wears a white and red miko outfit.

## Personality

Amaterasu is a kind and benevolent goddess. She watches over her pantheon and rules it with a strict but fair hand. Unlike most of the other chief deities, Amaterasu does not indulge herself in the hedonism and arrogance that comes with immortality.

She prefers to walk among the humans, attending school and university like a mortal girl. Amaterasu is also a sucker for drama, preferring to watch K-Drama in her office rather than do business related to the ruling of the Shinto, leaving her siblings to be rather pissed with her and her father rather irritated.

Amaterasu is an extremely wise goddess, even more so than Odin and Apollon who seeks to give knowledge to the Japanese people and also to the rest of humanity as she desires to protect them from any future threat.

She is also very calm and collected as he is shown to listen carefully to Issei's speech and also simply told both Odin and Izanagi to be quiet. She is also shown to be more mature than that of her father Izanagi and Issei stated that her personality is similar to that of Amun-Ra's.

Amaterasu is also shown to be extremely cheerful and very fun-loving as she is always in a happy mood when talking to other people, including her fellow Shinto Deities. Amaterasu also appears to have an energetic personality and his love for competition such as sport-fighting and eating similar to that of Shidou Irina and Xenovia Quarta.

Amaterasu trains everyday in order to become stronger and maintain her power. She also acknowledges that as a Goddesses, Amaterasu has the authority to judge and eliminate other pantheons if they are willing to commit wicked atrocities, but he doesn't want to hurt anybody.

In her battle, She is a very calm and soft-spoken person and noble woman who lives in a Takamagahara with many servants that she is considered to be of the highest standing at their Takamagahara, but she is also a very beautiful, kind and smart girl with many fans around her. She has an amiable and modest personality. Although she is skilled in combat, she usually holds back when fighting.

Amaterasu despises perverts. She hates them down to the very core of her being, often making her more feared among the male gods than even Artemis. Apollon suffers from PTSD after he was caught by Amaterasu to be peeping on her while she bathed in the hot springs of Takamagahara. However, this could ironic for her as some rumors say that she is herself a hardcore closest pervert.

Amaterasu is still a very kind, loving, compassionate and benevolent individual who shows an incredible amount of faith in humanity and treats them with compassion. She is also very friendly, as she quickly befriended Tsukiyomi and treats him equally.

## History

Amaterasu was born when Second-Generation Primordial Deity, Izanagi, cleansed his left eye after returning from a failed attempt at retrieving his wife from the Land of Yomi (her siblings Tsukuyomi and Susanoo were born from washing the other eye and nose, respectively).

Amaterasu married Tsukuyomi, and for a time, she shared the sky with him, controlling the sun and day while she ruled the moon and night, until she killed the food goddess Uke Miochi. This killing prompted Amaterasu to label him an dark spirit and separate from him, creating the division between day and night.

She became the ruler of the sun and the heavens along with her brother, Tsukuyomi, the Shinto god of the moon and ruler of the night. Originally, Amaterasu shared the sky with Tsukuyomi, her husband and brother until, out of disgust, he killed the goddess of food, Uke Mochi, when she pulled "food from her rectum, nose, and mouth". This killing upset Amaterasu causing her to label Tsukuyomi an evil god and split away from him; separating night from day.

### The Sun Hides Her Face

The texts also tell of a long-standing rivalry between Amaterasu and her other brother, Susanoo. When Susanoo was to banished from Heaven to Yomi because Izanagi ordered him to, he went to bid his sister goodbye. Amaterasu, suspicious, proposed him a challenge to prove his good faith. Each of them was to turn an object of the other's and from it birthed gods and goddesses. Amaterasu created three women from Susanoo's sword while he created five men from her necklace.

Amaterasu them claimed the men were hers because they were born of her necklace, and the goddesses were his, she decided that she had won the challenge, as his item produced women. Susanoo went on a rampage, destroying her rice fields, hurling a flayed pony into her loom, and killed one of her attendants in a fit of rage.

For this, Amaterasu, grieved, furious and scared, went to hide inside Ama-no-Iwato, the "heavenly rock cave", so the Sun was hidden and the world became dark for a long period of time. The evil yokai and hostile daemons came out to the dark world, and the gods could not make Amaterasu come out of the cave.

Amaterasu is when she blocked herself in a cave following an argument with Susanoo when he surprised the goddess with a monstrous flayed horse when she was quietly weaving in her palace with her younger sister Waka-hiru-me. As a consequence of Amaterasu’s disappearance the world was cast in total darkness and evil spirits ran riot over the earth. The gods tried all manner of ways to persuade the peeved goddess to leave the cave. On the advice of Omohi-Kane, roosters were set outside the cave in the hope their crows would make the goddess think that dawn had come.

The intelligent goddess of happiness, Ama-no-Uzume, took a big bucket, turned it upside down near the cave entrance, and began a dance on it, tearing off her clothing in front of the other Kami. They thought this was so funny that they laughed happily. Amaterasu heard them, and looked out to see why the gods were laughing. When she opened the cave, she saw her wonderful reflection in a mirror Uzume had put on a tree, and slowly came out of the cave.

At that moment, the god Ameno-Tajikarawo closed the cave behind her, so she could not go back in. Another god tied a magic rope across the entrance. The sun goddess was then asked by the Kami Ame-no-Koyane to go back with the gods. She agreed, and light came back to the earth, but Susanoo was punished by being banished from Heaven.

The gods also placed a large sakaki tree (Cleyera japonica) outside the cave and decorated it with sparkling jewels (magatama), fine white clothes and a mirror at its center. In addition, the goddess Amenouzume (or Ama-no-Uzeme) danced so wildly in a strip-tease routine that the other gods’ uproarious laughter finally excited the curiosity of Amaterasu.

Opening the blocked cave just enough to see what was going on and whilst distracted by seeing her stunning reflection in the mirror, the strong god Ame-no-tajikara-wo yanked the goddess out of the cave. Tuto-Tamu then held behind the goddess a pole of plaited straw and emphatically stated that the goddess could hide no longer and the world was once more bathed in her radiant sunlight.

### Royalty

Later she sent her grandson Ninigi-no-Mikoto to pacify Japan: his great-grandson became the first emperor, Emperor Jimmu. Amaterasu bequeathed three sacred objects to him and the Imperial family, the sacred sword (Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi), jewel (Yata no Kagami), and mirror (Yasakani no Magatama) that collectively became the Three Imperial Regalia of Japan.

### Yamata-no-Orochi

When the Evil Dragon, Yamata-no-Orochi came back from the dead, Amaterasu, her dark avatar Shiranui along with her brothers, Susanoo and Tsukuyomi went to the serpent and kill it again. However, thanks to it being a creature of evil, humanity own negativity brings it back over and over again either to die by Amaterasu or Susanoo.
