Fuujin and Raijin, come forth!

Fuujin's Profile

As the ruling god of wind, he gallops across the lands faster than what the human eye can see, creating afterimages of his horse-like figure. People who have befriended him call him Fuujin-sama, but his true name is Shinatsuhiko no Kami. Although he does not seem to mind what people call him.

He gets along with Raijin, warmly watching over the clumsy god of lightning. Despite Fuujin’s gentle expression and demeanor, he is said to be even more ferocious than the thunder god when his anger is aroused. However, there are few who have witnessed his true anger and lived to tell the tale so the extent of his wrath remains largely unknown.

As a living witness Susanoo has described his anger to be "just like a typhoon".

When Amaterasu lived in the heavens, during the summer she would stand beside Fuujin to keep cool.

The truth is, Fuujin and Raijin are actually older than Susanoo and Amaterasu. Furthermore, between Fuujin and Raijin, Fuujin is the higher god. He doesn't dislike having his main brushed gently.

Raijin's Profile

As the ruling god of thunder, he gallops across the lands faster than the human eye can see, creating afterimages of his horse-like figure. People that have befriended him call him Raijin-sama, but his true name is Takemikazuchi no Kami. Not only is he the god of thunder, but he is also the god of swords and sumo wrestling.

As the black horse of roaring thunder, he has a sharp expression and an intimidating sense of speaking which means he sometimes ends up scaring his friends without meaning to. However his true personality is very tender and sincere.

His close companion Fuujin believes this is fear is caused by Raijin’s clumsiness, but Raijin himself tends to think “I bring the thunder, it cannot be helped if they fear me”.

Long ago in the war of gods, Amaterasu gave Raijin great responsibilities, and he produced results that would not be topped even by the Susanoo whose powers of war exhibit the strength of the gods.

In their youth, Susanoo and Raijin would often play together.
