Japanese divinities
Commonly called Amaterasu, she is the goddess of the sun as well as the purported ancestress of the Imperial Household of Japan.  Her full name means "Great Goddess" or "Great Spirit Who Shines in the Heavens"; she may also be referred to as Ōhiru-menomuchi-no-kami (大日孁貴神).  Due to her ties to the Imperial family, she is often considered (though not official) to be the "primary god" of Shinto.
