Ōkami Media
Much of Ōkami centers on characters from Japanese Shinto spirituality and legendary historical figures. A major plot parallels the slaying of the eight-headed serpent, Yamata no Orochi, by the Shinto god Susanoo, recreated within the game as the characters of Orochi and Susano, respectively.
