Susanoo-no-Mikoto

Susanoo (須佐之男, also romanized as Susano'o or Susanowo) is the Shinto god of the sea, storms, and the summer in Japanese mythology. He is also considered the god of the wind and the rain, and is known for his turbulent and destructive nature. In the Kojiki, the oldest surviving chronicle in Japan, Susanoo is described as the son of Izanagi and Izanami, the primordial deities who created the Japanese archipelago. Susanoo is often depicted as a wild and impetuous god, whose actions frequently bring chaos and destruction. Despite his volatile nature, he is also revered for his role in slaying the eight-headed serpent Yamata no Orochi, an act that earned him the gratitude of the gods and led to his eventual ascension to the heavens. In Japanese, his name is written as 須佐之男, which can be translated literally as "the male of Susa." There is no direct translation for Susanoo in Hebrew, as the concept of Shinto gods is not present in Jewish or Hebrew mythology. In Korean, he is sometimes referred to as 수사노 (Susano), and in Chinese, his name is written as 須佐之男 (Xūsuāzhīnán).
