Amaterasu is the main protagonist of Ōkami (2006) and its sequel Ōkamiden (2010) and was also featured in the crossover fighting game Marvel vs Capcom 3 and its update Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 as well back in 2011.

Amaterasu is the goddess of the sun, and uses the form of a white wolf with a lot unique abilities.

Her design was so beautiful that it became very popular and is drawn often by a big group of fans while the Okami games itself were sadly not a big financial success for Capcom and currently it does not look like we will see a third Okami game even after Okami was ported to newer platforms as a HD remaster.

Amaterasu is one of the relative few dog or wolf-like main protagonists in a video game and probably the most thought out of these characters in general.

No wonder that she is one of the favourite game characters of Birdmir from the USA, one of the artists that joined GA-HQ when we started our first Pokemon Tribute back in 2016.

I love that she sticked to the art-style of Okami for the first illustration of Amaterasu made for our DB Project!
