Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier3
Reliability tier 3: a Wikipedia entry, written and revised by unnamed volunteer editors, suited to an uncontested, easily checked point about a Shinto creator deity rather than a disputed claim. NotesWikipedia's community maintained article on Izanagi carries no named author or peer review and is open to continuous editing. Consulted 2026-08-11 for the creation of the islands, Izanami's death, the flight from Yomi and the purification that produced Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi and Susanoo. A contested or technical claim about the Kojiki's text should be checked against a direct translation rather than resting on this page alone.
