Susanoo, also called Susanowo, is the god of the ocean and
storms, born from Izanagi like his siblings Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi.
Susanoo has a fierce temper which once caused Amaterasu to
hide in a cave of Heaven. This lead to darkness filling the world, with
Amaterasu eventually being tricked into coming out. Susanoo was banished to the
province of Izumo to help prevent another similar incident to occur again, with
Susanoo’s belongings also being taken away.
After this Susanoo had journeys, where he found the sword
Kusanagi, and fought and slayed the multiple headed and tailed beast called
Yamata no Orochi. Once his adventures had taken place he went to live with his
mother Izanami in the underworld.
