Shinto, the indigenous spirituality of Japan, is believed to have been practiced for over 1,000 years, with its roots tracing back to ancient animistic beliefs and rituals. Although the term "Shinto" was first used in the 6th century to distinguish these practices from Buddhism, many of its customs and traditions likely date back to prehistoric times. As such, Shinto can be considered to have been around for at least 2,500 years, evolving continuously through Japan's history.

Who is the prophet of Shinto?
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.
