Profile

Origin

Main section: Amaterasu § Origin

Design

Amaterasu was designed with bright light coming from her body to emphasize her origin as a sun goddess. The sword she wields is the Kusanagi no Tsurugi, which Soejima notes is also wielded by Naoto's Yamato-Takeru. The pieces on her arms are modeled after the 2nd class insignia for the Order of the Rising Sun, an award for non-military achievements.
