Shinto is a very strange religion, it technically has no main prophet of which its teachings are based off of. Shinto has been around since around 500 BC, and probably earlier. It was influenced by Chinese culture, which is why the actual name "Shinto" was derived from the Chinese term "shin-tao". It has been passed around from generation to generation, following no main teaching. If you could consider Confucious a prophet, he is the closest thing to it. the first influencing text on Shinto was the teachings of Cunfucious. And if you really want to go far out, the imperial family/ government has always had a great influence on the religion until the end of world war II where the imperial family was forced to renounce its claim to divinity. -OZ

Yes Shinto is its own distinct religion. Indigenous to Japan focuses on the the balance of kami or invisible spiritual force. The most recognizable aspect of Shinto is by far the red cross beam arch that marks a shrine.
No known founder of Shinto religion. It was more like a slow emergence of myths. However, the first accounts of the mythological stories started around 500 BCE, possibly earlierWas not considered a formal centralized religious until the beginning of the 6th century, about the same time as Buddhism, Confucianism & Taoism.The first written records did not occur until about the late 7th and earyly 8th centuries. These books are the Kojiki, (the first of the two books) and Nihon Shoki, (the 2nd & more detailed of the two). Both were written by http://wiki.answers.com/wiki/Ō_no_Yasumaro who was commissioned by the Royal leaders of Japan to document the myths and rituals & know history of Shinto.
