Amaterasu
Amaterasu is a Japanese goddess associated with the sun and divine spirituality. She is known as Queen of the Heaven and queen of the kami. Kami are gods of the Shinto spirituality. The Kami are sacred spirits which take the form of things and concepts. For example the kami may take form as wind, rain, trees, fertility, mountains and so on.
The Japanese believe that humans become kami once they pass away. Amaterasu, associated with kami did not create the universe herself - is still associated with creation which was an attribute she inherited from her father Izanagi. Amaterasu was born from the left eye of her father, and her brother Tsukiyomi (moon deity) was born from the right eye.
