What is the name of the Shinto moon god?

The name of the Shinto moon god is Tsukuyomi, also written Tsukiyomi or Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto. He is one of the major kami in Japanese mythology and is traditionally associated with the moon and night.

In the Kojiki, Tsukuyomi is born from Izanagi’s right eye during a purification ritual after Izanagi escapes from Yomi. Amaterasu, the sun goddess, emerges from his left eye, while Susanoo comes from his nose. These three are often called the Three Precious Children.

Tsukuyomi is commonly described as Amaterasu’s sibling, but the classical sources vary in details about his birth, gender, and domain. The Nihon Shoki gives several alternative accounts. Another famous story says Tsukuyomi killed the food goddess Ukemochi, prompting Amaterasu to separate herself from him; this myth is used to explain the division of day and night. Fujin is a wind deity, Susanoo a storm deity, and Amaterasu a sun goddess.
