seriously? but there are 7,999,988 more to go. We'd better get started.

I think this page should have been called "List of Shinto deities."-- 174.95.63.5 ( talk) 03:03, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
An emperor one day passed by a cat, which seemed to wave to him. Taking the cat's motion as a sign, the emperor paused and went to it. Diverted from his journey, he realized that he had avoided a trap that had been laid for him just ahead. Since that time, cats have been considered wise and lucky spirits. Many Japanese shrines and homes include a figurine of a cat with one pay upraised as if waving-hence Kami Neko. Problem is, I don't know which emperor. Help? Chris 02:00, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

I was under the impression that the directional guardians were also a kind of god, although I don't have any research/refrences available to me. Should this be looked into for an addition for the page? Or am I just being silly? A Public Computer
I see a lot of mention of her grandson a lot, and his grandsom, and his son (emperor Jimmu) but never Amaterasu's son.. Who's that?
This was a link within Ame-no-Uzume to what looks like OR, which has been deleted from the Solar deity article. Is there any basis to this claim at all? Imaginatorium ( talk) 14:39, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
A flurry of edits have added this putative entry: Torento-no-kami. The name is phonetically dubious, and I cannot find any evidence of its existence. The first version had bogus wlinks, then there was a version with bogus references. I have added "citation needed" for now, but perhaps it should just go, short of some amazing evidence.

神と同様に、人間 - 神は、神格化された個々人、神格化された階級、および神聖化された人格の3つのクラスに分けられるかもしれません。最初のクラスは、生きているか死んでいる、そして多くのヒーローたちで構成されています。その中には、日本の東部の伝説的な征服者であるヤマト岳と学習の神、菅原(天神)がいます例として引用されている。 [1] [2]

I’m gonna go through this and make articles for some Kami. So fair I created 3 articles.
I’m also gonna work on the genealogy. CycoMa ( talk) 16:54, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
I removed the following redlink entry: *Ekibiogami, kami of disease and pestilence. (ref) Cite book|last=Ashkenazi|first=Michael|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=gqs-y9R2AekC&q=Ekibiogami%7Ctitle=Handbook of Japanese Mythology|date=2003|publisher=ABC-CLIO|isbn=978-1-57607-467-1|language=en}}. Probably the author meant to write Ekibyōgami, but the introduction to his book makes it clear he is not exactly an expert. Japanese WP has ja:疫病神, read Yakubyōgami, but this does not have a WP:en entry. (The first character, 疫 is usually read "eki"; the name can also (WP:ja) be written 厄病神, where the first character 厄 is usually read "yaku". The two characters have similar meanings, but 疫病 is the normal word for an epidemic, while 厄 is more associated with woo stuff about magical problems. Imaginatorium ( talk) 06:34, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
I googled this deity again and there are many sources that mention this deity.
Like here.
So it is very likely that this deity is a legit deity. Also the writer of that book is an anthropologist who studies religion and Japan, so I am not entirely sure on the notion that he’s not an expert.

There also appears to be variations of the name for some reason, this could just be one of those cases where there is mitranslation. CycoMa ( talk) 06:51, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
I don’t entirely agree with the whole major and minor deities thing. It just seems like a weird way to list them off and it’s hard to tell exactly who is more major or more minor in some cases.
Not to mention many of these deities are classified in different groups. CycoMa ( talk) 18:12, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
If i were looking for a list of Shinto Kami sorted by the number of shrines they are venerated in, where could i possibly find this? Would it be in the scope of Wikipedia to have that here? - Schockocraft ( talk) 19:58, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
