Tsukuyomi

Tsukiyomi, the God of the moon, is the middle child and brother of Amaterasu and Susano-O. And like most middle children, he has gone off to do his own thing. He hasn’t seen his sister in countless years, and he claims he likes it that way. Don’t bring up the fact that Amaterasu banished him to the moon to live forever opposite of her. He still feels like he was justified in killing Uke Mochi, the Kami of food. He says Uke Mochi spit in his food before serving him. Amaterasu told him that once he accepts the justice of his banishment she will rescind his sentence.

His banishment has granted him freedom to travel far more than most other Kami. He acts as a messenger between the Kami, although he will provide his opinion on the contents of the message. This has provided him extensive knowledge of both current events and history. He has all the best gossip. When he is not traveling, he spends most of his time soaking in the nightlife of Tokyo. This puts him far from his sister, who prefers Kyoto. He is often found as a food critic, otherwise he likes to shine a light on all the best nightspots wherever he may find himself. Some Kami find him insufferable and a gossip, but none deny that his taste is impeccable.

His Scions are in the know. He shares his gossip with them. For what good is information if it is not shared? They also tend to have the hippest tastes and are on the cutting edge of what is fresh, new, and cool. They’ll be the one at the secret new club or art show, sporting the avant-garde hairdo and telling their friends about the amazing new restaurant they all just have to try.
