Shintoist's have 8 gods they are: * Amaterasu, the sun goddess * Tsukuyomi, the moon god * Inari, god of foxes * Kotoamatsukami, the primary kami trinity * Izanagi, the first man * Izanami, the first woman * Susanoo, god of storms * Sarutahiko, kami of earth
The above is wrong, but only partially wrong. Yes, those are the main kami. However Shintoists believe everything thing living or not has a kami. You'll sometimes hear that there are 8 million kami. This is just used to imply the infinite number of kami there are.
The main kami the Shinto religion is Amaterasu, but not all Shintoists worship her.
Inari is also a kami that is depicted as male or female. He/She is not only the kitsune god, he/she is also the god of food and rice.
Susanoo is also the kami of the sea.
