Susanoo, also spelled as Susano-o, known as the powerful storm of Summer, is the Shinto god of the sea and storms and the brother of Amaterasu, the goddess of the sun, and Tsukuyomi, the god of the moon. All three were spawned from Izanagi when he washed his face clean of the pollutants of Yomi, the underworld. Amaterasu was born when Izanagi washed out his left eye, Tsukuyomi was born from the washing of the right eye and Susanoo from the washing of the nose.
