Etymology[]
Takemikazuchi (建御雷) is a god of thunder in Japanese mythology - not to be confused with Raijin, the god of thunder.
He was born from the blood of his slain brother, Hinogakutsuchi when his father slew him in a fury, after his fiery birth incinerated his mother.
In one myth he is said to have wrestled with a fellow god, and created sumo wrestling.
In another more major myth, he is the warden of Namazu - a giant catfish that lives deep in the heart of Japan, and the cause of earthquakes.
Keeping the giant fish pinned to the ground by his sword, when Takemikazuchi is distracted, Namazu wriggles and causes the quakes.
