Amaterasumon

Profile Name & Etymology Debut Design & Analysis ⇨ Japanese Amaterasumon is the being that rules over the sun in the Eastern Digital World. Due to the ornaments on its body, it is rumored to have a connection with Susanoomon. It usually lives in an area above the clouds called Senkūkai. If there is an emergency or whenever its feelings get hurt, it transforms the ornaments on its arms and turns into its Ama-no-Iwato Mode, and since it cuts off contact with the outside world, it causes disruptions to the sun system during that time. Its Special Move is bisecting the opponent with red-bladed swords that manifest from the ornaments on its arms (Idzu no Mitama). Its "Rikugō Shōtetsusen", in which it deploys all the parts on its arms and its back ring, and emits an intense light that focuses the power of the sun, is just like the sun shining down everywhere, incinerating enemies without a trace, no matter where they are. Digimon Reference Book ⇨ English 東方のデジタルワールドにおける太陽を司る存在、それがアマテラスモンである。その身の装飾から、スサノオモンとの関連が囁かれている。普段は仙空界という雲上エリアで暮らす。有事の際や気分を害した際には、腕の装飾を変形し「天岩戸（あまのいわと）」形態となり外界との接触を遮断してしまうため、その間は太陽のシステムに支障が出てしまう。 　必殺技は、腕の装飾から出現させた赤い刀身の剣を以って、相手を両断する『厳之御魂（いづのみたま）』。腕と後輪のパーツを全展開し、太陽の力を凝縮した強烈な光を放つ『六合照徹閃（りくごうしょうてつせん）』は、遍く降り注ぐ太陽の如く、敵がどこにいようと塵すら残さず灼き尽くす。 デジモン図鑑 Name Etymology Name: Amaterasumon Kanji/Kana: アマテラスモン Romanization: Amaterasumon Digimoji: Dub: Amaterasumon Other Languages: | 天照兽 | 天照獸 | 아마테라스몬 | Amaterasu n., From Amaterasu-Ōmikami 「天照大御神 (アマテラスオオミカミ)」, the goddess of the sun in Japanese mythology. Year Active 2025 Digimon Reference Book Entry Date January 20, 2026 Video Game Digimon New Century V-Pet Pendulum COLOR 7 Toho Braves Amaterasumon was designed by sasasi. Amaterasumon was created for the Digimon Pendulum COLOR 7 Toho Braves virtual pet, and is used as the device's "mascot" Digimon on its packaging. As its mythological namesake Amaterasu is a sun goddess, Siesamon (a pre-existing Digimon with powers connected to the energy of the sun) was placed in its evolutionary line in the virtual pet, and Shishimamon was created as a Perfect form to link the two. Amaterasumon's Ama-no-Iwato Mode is named for the cave that Amaterasumon’s namesake hides in when her brother, the storm god Susanoo-no-Mikoto, upsets her; this results in the light of the sun vanishing from the world, as is also described in Amaterasumon's Digimon Reference Book profile. The Ama-no-Iwato Mode is depicted in Amaterasumon’s sleep animation in the Digimon Pendulum COLOR 7 Toho Braves (pictured right). In reference to the sibling relationship of Amaterasu and Susanoo-no-Mikoto in Japanese mythology, Amaterasumon's design borrows several elements from Susanoomon, including: the flame-shaped shoulder armor the long tassels flowing out from their backs the kanji 天 ten/ama ("heaven"), inscribed on an ornament in Amaterasumon's chest; the kanji, using its ama pronunciation, is also part of the names of both Amaterasu herself (「天照」) and her Ama-no-Iwato cave (「天岩戸」) Amaterasumon's design also incorporates the symbol of Kunlun on both of its arm gauntlets, and the Zero Unit on both arms. The Jogress combination that creates Amaterasumon in the Pendulum COLOR 7, Darumamon and Shishimamon (both of whom, like Amaterasumon, were created for this virtual pet), can also be interpreted as a further homage to Susanoomon: Darumamon, as a fiery, draconic Digimon who bears the symbol of the element of Fire, parallels Kaiser Greymon; Shishimamon, as a Digimon affiliated with the element of light who evolves from the canine Siesamon, parallels Magna Garurumon; and in addition to its other connections to Susanoomon, Amaterasumon's creation from the Jogress of these two Digimon parallels Susanoomon's creation from the fusion of Kaiser Greymon and Magna Garurumon. Being both a normal evolution of Shishimamon and the result of a Jogress involving Shishimamon, Amaterasu also parallels Seiten Gokuwmon, its counterpart mascot of the Pendulum COLOR 6 Saiyu Warriors virtual pet, who has similar evolution conditions.
