Tsukuyomi is a Demon in the Megami Tensei franchise.
Profile
Origin
Tsukuyomi is the god who reigns over the night and moon, who was born from Izanagi's right eye, thus making him the brother of Amaterasu, and Susano-o. There are not many stories who involves or mention Tsukuyomi, making him very mysterious and enigmatic. He and his sister Amaterasu got into a dispute, which ultimately led to Amaterasu leaving to another part of the sky, thus making day and night appearing at different time and were never seen together.

The moon god from Japanese mythology. Tsukuyomi was said to have been born from the right eye of Izanagi during purification after his escape from Yomi no kuni, the underworld. Tsukuyomi was the second of the "three noble children," who was commanded by his father Izanagi to watch over the night sky. In the Chronicles of Japan, Tsukuyomi and his sister the sun goddess Amaterasu part ways due to their disagreements. This is why the sun and moon appear at different times in the sky.
