Shinatsuhiko
Shinatsuhiko is a Japanese mythological god of wind. Another name for this deity is Shinatobe, who originally may have been a separate goddess of wind.
The Nihon Shoki stated that Shinatsuhiko was born after Izanagi no Mikoto and Izanami no Mikoto created the great eight islands of Japan. After these lands were completed, Izanagi blew at the morning mists that obscured them and these became Shinatsuhiko, God of the Wind. A Shinto liturgical text or ritual incantation called norito addressed the god in this masculine name while a different name - Shinatobe - was ascribed to what is presumed to be his feminine version. Some sources also called the wind deities Ame no Mihashira and Kuni no Mihashira according to the belief that the wind supported the sky. It is noted that these names preceded Shinatsuhiko and Shinatobe.
