TSUKIYOMI
Shinto Moon God 🌝
Also known as Tsuki-Yomi, Tsukiyomi-No-Mikoto, Tsukuyomi, Tsukuyomi Otoko
Nauseated Moon God
He was formed from a tear dripping out of Izanagi’s right eye, in a similar way to his sister Amaterasu.
Unfortunately he was involved in an unpleasant dining experience after Uke-Mochi served him a hideous home-cooked meal. Despite being the Goddess of Food she was a terrible cook with some very strange ideas about food hygiene.
Tsukiyomi was so disgusted that he killed the cook and never ate anything again. Now sister Amaterasu, the Sun Goddess, will have nothing more to do with him. That is why you never see the Sun and Moon dining out together.
