Tsukuyomi
Tsukuyomi (月読の命 or 月夜見の尊, Tsukuyomi No Mikoto), so known under the name of Tsukiyomi , is the God of the the Moon and the night in the Shintoisme and the Japanese Mythologie. He lived with the skies, known as Takamagahara, with his sister the Déesse of the Sun Amaterasu.
The name Tsukuyomi is a combination between the Kanji for " lune" ( tsuki ) and " lecture" ( yomu ). Another interpretation says that the name would come from the combination between " harms the light of lune" ( tsukiyo ) and the verb " regarder" ( miru ).
Tsukuyomi is the second of the three newborns when Izanagi, the god who created the world, was cleaned its fished by taking a bath. It would have been born when Izanagi washed the right eye but it is said sometimes that it was born one to mirroir of copper that Izanagi held in its right hand.
Tsukiyomi climbed then on a celestial scale to join the skies (Takamagahara).
