Izanagi

Izanagi or **He-who-invites** or **The Retired god** is the Second-Generation Shinto Primordial God of Creation, and life and former ruler of the Shinto Pantheon. He is the son of Kuninotokotachi and Toyokumono, as well as twin brother and ex-husband of Izanami.

He's also the grandson of Amenominakanushi and Benzaiten, succeeding the former at one point as the supreme male of Takamagahara.

## Overview

The first gods Kunitokotachi and Amenominakanushi summoned two divine beings into existence, the male Izanagi and the female Izanami, and charged them with creating the first land. To help them do this, Izanagi and Izanami were given a spear decorated with jewels, named *Amenonuhoko* (heavenly spear). The two deities then went to the bridge between heaven and earth, *Ame-no-ukihashi* ("floating bridge of heaven"), and churned the sea below with the spear. When drops of salty water fell from the spear, Onogoroshima was created. They descended from the bridge of heaven and made their home on the island.

Eventually they wished to be mated, so they built a pillar called *Ame-no-mihashira* ("pillar of heaven"; the *mi-* is an honorific prefix) and around it they built a palace called *Yahiro-dono* (one *hiro* is approximately 1.82 m, so the "eight-*hiro*-palace" would have been 14.56 m). Izanagi and Izanami circled the pillar in opposite directions and, when they met on the other side, Izanami spoke first in greeting. Izanagi did not think that this was proper, but they mated anyhow. They had two children, Hiruko ("leech-child"), who later came to be known in Shintoism as the god Ebisu, and Awashima, but they were born deformed and were not considered deities.

They put the children into a boat and set them out to sea, then petitioned the other gods for an answer as to what they did wrong. They were told that the male deity should have spoken first in greeting during the marriage ceremony. So Izanagi and Izanami went around the pillar again, this time Izanagi speaking first when they met, and their marriage was finally successful.

## Apperance

Izanagi is a very handsome man looking like he is in his mid to early 20s when not in retirement or hiding his hair is white with it grown out a little and very curly while he is in retirement his hair is a mix of black and brown only a little more grown out he has blue eyes but while in retirement he has light brownish eyes

Izanagi wears a whiteish kimino with a little blue waves while he was ruling the shinto pantheon and also wore a military uniform before now he wears some casual wear with a white shirt and a black jacket over it with some black addidas pants

When ever Izanami is mentioned in front of him his eyes turn sorrowful and his energy goes down a little before he ask to stop talking about it after being kidnapped by Xinwang whenever his name is mentioned Izanagi aura will turn red with hatred and his eyes will turn red for a moment this is a warning your pushing him to far this is one of the things that often leads to fights between both him and Izanami

## Personality

Izanagi in the past was a brash and reckless god making decisons based on how he feels in his words not fit to rule after betraying Izanami he changed turn into a calm collected god who doesn't pick sides anymore and can let go of grudges quick seeing as how he was gonna spare Xinwang but Izanagi also has a trickery side to him using his handsomeness on multiple occasions to get out of situations

Izanagi even though he won't admit is filled with nothing but regret and self loathing always asking why he left Izanami to suffer in yomi and actively tries to distance himself from her one of the main reasons he retired from the Shinto pantheon when Izanami came looking for him he was happy thinking she had forgiven him but after actually learning what she wanted he went back into how their relation ship was mean and spiteful

Izanagi pretends to hate Izanami but in reality actually wants to aplogize leaving her along with killing Kagutsuchi are the biggest regrets of his life he knows he should talk to her but doesn't feel worthy eventually he would aplogize to both of them after the Xinwang sitatuion he doesn't know if either of them forgive him but the weighs is of his chess

Also something that isn't known that much about Izanagi was his love for fast food he gain during living as a mortal
