Susanoo – the storm god, born from washing his nose.
Susanoo is known for his tumultuous nature and his connection to both chaos and natural forces.
One of the well-known myths involves Amaterasu hiding in the Amano-Iwato (heavenly rock cave) after a confrontation with her brother Susanoo, who caused great disorder.
After his banishment from heaven, Susanoo descended to earth and encountered an eight-headed serpent known as the Yamata no Orochi.
Susanoo saved a young maiden named Kushinada-hime by defeating the Orochi, and in doing so, he found the legendary sword Kusanagi, which he later gifted to Amaterasu.
