Oshiho

Oshiho Name Meaning:
Affiliations: Celestial Plain, Kamui (Wep'keer)
Family: son of Shiranui; brother to Amaterasu, Amano, Amatsu, Iku, and Kumano; mate to Kai; father of Ninigi.

Before the stray beads were scattered across the world during Shiranui's final battle with Orochi, the string of beads had helped to bear the Sons of Ōkami. Five wolf gods who had some of their mother's power and would keep the Celestial Plain safe in her absence.

After the Day of Darkness ends with Yami's defeat, Oshiho and his brothers welcomed their younger sister. Ammy rules the Celestial Plain for nine months and even gives birth to her and Oki’s son (Chibiterasu), but her heart longs for Nippon. Chibi is sent in her place due to the All-Mother still needing to rest and regain her energy from the journey and battle with Yami. When the Child of the Sun returns, however, Amaterasu makes it clear that she is leaving to live on Nippon.

Chibi goes with her in order to meet his father and Oshiho decides to escort them. This is how he meets Kai and the brown Oina wolf slowly wins him over. She is fleet of foot and kind of heart, able to smile and sing and just be optimistic when things seem so grim. Oshiho finds himself watching her, his dreams haunted by the light-hearted challenges to a race. He gives up his claim to the divine throne and goes down to live with Kai.
