Question

The Gion (“GHEE-ohn”) cult was forced to worship this figure after the modernization of their country, leading to a syncretization between this figure and an ox-headed plague god. The suitor of this figure’s daughter survives poisonous challenges by waving a magic scarf and was killed twice by his 80 brothers after helping a hare heal its skin. That suitor beat this figure by tying his beard to the rafters. This figure defeated his (*) sister in a child-making game using a sword, leading him to defecate in her hall. This figure transformed a woman into a comb before slaying (-5[1])an eight-headed serpent and finding the (10[2])sword Kusanagi. For 10 points, name this kami who is the slayer of Yamata-no-Orochi and brother of Amaterasu. ■END■ (10[1])

ANSWER: Susanoo (“soo-sah-NO-oh”) [or Susanoo-no-Mikoto] (The unnamed suitor is Okuni-Nushi.)
