Susanoo is the god of the sea. Due to his dominion over the sea he has been strongly associated with evil and demons. He was the brother of Amatersau, the goddess of the sun, and Tsukuyomi, the goddess of the moon. The fights between Susanoo and Amatersau have become legendary. In one such fight Amatersau fled from heaven to hid in a cave, thus hiding the sun. After the incident Susanoo was banished from heaven and came to earth in the province of Izumo. The shrine now built in Izumo province is one of the oldest and most sacred temples in all of Japan.

According to Japanese mythology Ryujin was the god of the seas. Similar to Chinese mythology, the ruler of the seas took the form of a dragon. His palace was under the ocean and constructed from red and white coral. Jelly fish, sea turtles and fish were his servants. The rulers of Japan would trace their lineage to Ryujin. Because of this fact, it was recorded that the Empress Jingu was able to control the tides that won the victory over the Korean navy.
