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
