In Japanese mythology, Amatsu-Mikaboshi, also called Ame-no-Kagaseo, is a god of the stars, specifically
Venus. He is mentioned in passing in the Nihon Shoki as an opponent of Takemikazuchi-no-kami during the latter's conquest of the land of Izumo, and is sometimes identified with the figure of Takeminakata in the Kojiki. He is also considered as a god of evil.
