AMATERASU (You)

This powerful god has the power to command the Celestial Brush. A century ago, Amaterasu lost the physical body that the god had been inhabiting during a bitter struggle to seal away Orochi. With the help of the wood sprite Sakuya, Amaterasu inhabited the statue of an ancient village god and returned to the world. The heated battle against Orochi left Amaterasu without many powers held in times

past, but Amaterasu will journey to recover those powers while saving the life of the land.

ISSUN

This tiny creature was taking a nap in Sakuya’s shirt on his journey to master the principles of calligraphy. That journey took a detour when he decided that he liked Kamiki Village — he has resided there ever since. The villagers may consider him ill-mannered, but he is one of the top calligraphers in the land. He has taken the liberty of journeying with Amaterasu in order to further improve his artistic skills.

MR. & MRS. ORANGE

Mr. Orange is the elder of Kamiki Village, which surrounds the sacred tree. He lives with his tender loving wife Mrs. Orange. Seeing the loss of the sacred tree’s lovely blossoms, he is attempting to restore the tree using the ancient flower dance, the Konohana Shuffle. Mrs. Orange provides support by spending afternoons washing piles of laundry in the river and nights preparing her extra-deliciouscherry cakes.

THE GREAT WARRIOR, SUSANO

He is descended from the legendary hero Nagi and never lets anyone forget it. He is supposed to be diligently honing his sword-fighting skills every day, but most people have only ever seen him sleeping. He has feelings for the lovely Kushi, who resides in the same village.

THE WOOD SPRITE SAKUYA

This sprite inhabits the sacred Konohana tree in Kamiki Village. With her power, she was able to protect the village from the disaster that had befallen the rest of the land. She used all her remaining power to perform the ritual to bring Amaterasu back to the world.

THE SAKE BREWER, KUSHI

She runs the only bar in all Kamiki Village. She is always out in the rice paddies working hard to grow the rice she uses in her brews. Word of her brewing abilities has spread all the way to the capital and people come from all around to sample her creations. She is innocent in the ways of the world, and her charming personality shows

in the way she treats Amaterasu when the god is in animal form.
