In Japanese mythology, Susanoo is the god of storms and the brother of Amaterasu, the goddess of the sun, and of Tsukuyomi, the god of the moon. All three were spawned from Izanagi when he washed his face clean of the pollutants of Yomi, the underworld.

Kamu Susanoo no Mikoto, on the other hand, only appears in Izumo no Kuni Fudoki with the "Kamu" part simply meaning "god" in archaic Japanese.
