Izanagi イザナギ
Pronounced i·za·na·gi — written in katakana in the manga
Izanagi is a male god of Japanese mythology — the creator god who, together with his wife Izanami, gave birth to the islands of Japan. If we talk rank, he arguably stands at the very top of the mythology: the eight million gods of Japan trace back to him. He followed his wife down to Yomi, the land of the dead, and on his return purified himself of its taint — and in that purification, Amaterasu was born from his left eye, Tsukuyomi from his right, and Susanoo from his nose. Give a dōjutsu Izanagi's name, and a Japanese reader instantly senses power beyond measure.
