* Based on the Shinto Moon God [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto Tsukuyomi-No-Mikoto].

* Tsukuyomi was born when Izanagi-No-Mikoto, one of the two primal deities (together with Izanami-No-Mikoto), went to the underwolrd, and saw his wife was unable to return, having eaten food from its furnace. He broke the promise not to look at her horrible appearance, and she, shamed, demanded to have him killed. Izanagi escaped, and once he was back, he birthed Amaterasu when he washed his left eye from the impurities of Yomi (the underworld), then, Tsukuyomi from his right eye, and Susanoo when he washed his nose.

* One of the few religions of the world where the Moon deity is a man, and not a woman, like in most others.

* One of the few religions of the world where the Moon deity is a man, and not a woman, like in most others. (Although the game portrays Tsukuyomi as a man. The actual Shinto mythology never really explained what the moon deity's gender is. Hence the reason why the actual character is often mistaken for a man or a woman, and vice-versa.)
