In Japanese mythology, Susanoo, the powerful storm of Summer, is 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. Amaterasu was born when Izanagi washed out his left eye, Tsukuyomi was born from the washing of the right eye, and Susanoo from the washing of the nose.
"Susanoo" (須佐之男) is the shortened form that appears in Nihon Shoki. In Kojiki, his name is written in long forms, which includes Takehaya Susanoo-no-Mikoto (建速須佐之男命). "Kamu Susanoo no Mikoto" (神須佐能袁命) only appears in Izumo no Kuni Fudoki with the "Kamu" part simply means "god" in archaic Japanese.
In Megami Tensei II, after the partner gets kidnapped by Astaroth and before the hero rescues her, he can search around the Forest of Confusion to find a trail of food and scraps. Following it leads him to a girl, who reveals herself to be Susano-o. Upon returning to his form as a deity, he joins the hero.

His head is more shiny and the ears, shurikens on his face, and other details are gone and replaced by a pair of yellow glasses or goggles with blue lenses.

Trivia
Regardless of epithets, Susano-o is the only Persona acting as the signature and strictly ultimate Persona for three different party members in the Persona series (1: Masao Inaba; 4: Yosuke Hanamura; 5: Yusuke Kitagawa). This record is barely caught up by Hermes-Mercurius (if the two are treated as the same entity) who is either initial or ultimate Persona for three different party members in the series.
