Before she can heed any advice from her attendants to escape, she is confronted by a [[Metatron]], who informs her that her fellow Amatsukami have been sealed away, and that she is the last one left.

It is heavily implied that [[Tao Isonokami]] is Amaterasu's Knowledge, and her being selected to become a Goddess of Creation overruled Amaterasu's existence. As a result of her absence, her brother [[Tsukuyomi]] was left in charge of the Japanese branch under the guise of [[Hayao Koshimizu]]. | |||

Profile
Origin
Amaterasu is the sun goddess. She is the daughter of Izanagi who was born after he purified himself after returning from Yomi. Together with Susano-o and Tsukuyomi, the three are considered Izanagi's most important offsprings. Amaterasu was given the celestial realm to rule over. Eventually, she sent her grandson Ninigi to rule over the earthly realm, leading to the creation of the imperial line. In some versions of the tale, she sends Ninigi with three gifts: the Kusanagi no Tsurugi, the Yasakani no Magatama, and the Yata no Kagami.
Design
Amaterasu's Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne design is male. The design was intended to be more androgynous due to the usual belief that Amaterasu is female, but did not end up as such because of convenience in making the model.[1]
Gameplay
Shin Megami Tensei
Amaterasu is exclusive to the CD-ROM² version of Shin Megami Tensei. She can only be obtained as a rare result when using a Gaean in fusion, but cannot be used as fusion material herself in the Heretic's Manor. Can only be fused to create Vairocana by obtaining two additional demons, Missionary and Crusader, and visiting the old man in Sugamo Prison.

She is said to have been born of Izanagi's left eye, and is enshrined in many places, such as Ise Grand Shrine. Her most well-known tale is when she grew so angry at her brother Susano-o-no-mikoto's violence and chaos that she withdrew into Amano-iwato, shrouding the world in darkness. |

Game Appearances
Shin Megami Tensei II
Amaterasu is in Sealed Iwato, where she will tell Aleph the story of how the Japanese gods were imprisoned. She explains that the Kunitsukami betrayed the Amatsukami, helping those who follow the Hebrew God and demons of Chaos trap and seal them away, only for the Kunitsukami to be imprisoned by them as well once the deed was done. Regretting their foolish rivalry, she vows to never make this mistake again, and Aleph frees her. She thanks him, stating his power rivals that of Susano-o, and leaves.
Upon exiting the Sealed Cave, she meets with Hiruko, who she reconciles with, and then praises both his and Aleph's efforts for freeing the Amatsukami, taking Hiruko with her to the Diamond Realm to heal their wounded bodies afterward.
After unlocking the Diamond Realm, she can be found as an npc, where she will say as thanks for freeing her, she can be summoned as an ally through fusion.
Visionaries
Amaterasu is featured in one Visionary cutscene in the Game Boy Advance and iOS versions of the game.
In "Yasakani no Magatama", she is in the Yamato shrine when she is alerted to the threat of the Kunitsukami invading with the aide of foreign demons. Before she can heed any advice from her attendants to escape, she is confronted by a Metatron, who informs her that her fellow Amatsukami have been sealed away, and that she is the last one left. He notes that their easy victory over them is due to the guidance of the Kunitsukami, and in particular mentions Hiruko's familiarity with the Yamato shrine, prompting Amaterasu to sadly repeat his name before the angel seals her away.
Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance
- This section contains spoilers. (Skip Section)
Amaterasu is notably absent from Bethel Japan. In the subquest "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" it is revealed that she was forced out of existence when her Knowledge ascended into a unique being, with the gods of Japan being unable to restore her. It is heavily implied that Tao Isonokami is Amaterasu's Knowledge, and her being selected to become a Goddess of Creation overruled Amaterasu's existence. As a result of her absence, her brother Tsukuyomi was left in charge of the Japanese branch under the guise of Hayao Koshimizu.
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner
Megami Amaterasu is one of the three deities that Rei Reiho can call upon near the beginning of the game.
Trivia
- Amaterasu's occasional weakness to Electric attacks may be a reference to a tale from the Kojiki, in which she has a feud with her brother Susano-o, who is the god of storms.
- In Shin Megami Tensei (CD-ROM²), unlike other members of the Gaean race, Amaterasu costs Magnetite while summoned when the player is dungeon crawling.
- Amaterasu's stats, along with its counterparts Missionary and Crusader, mirror those of Shin Megami Tensei's Fiends. Amaterasu matches Pale Rider, Missionary matches David, and Crusader matches Daisoujou.
- In Aeon Genesis's english translation patch for Shin Megami Tensei II, Amaterasu says that it was only the forces of Law that manipulated the Kunitsukami into betraying the Amatsukami, which is not accurate to the original script; both the forces of Law and Chaos are blamed for leading the Kunitsukami astray.[2]
