There are some names connected to her in that mythology you may have heard elsewhere, like her siblings Tsukuyomi and Susanoo, for example. Also, the Japanese imperial family is traditionally considered to be descended from her lineage. Yes, that white wolf you play as in Okami is basically the Shinto equivalent of Zeus or Ra. Pretty badass, right? She's always depicted as a woman in actual legends, the wolf form is an invention of the game. And like so many times with the Japanese, this is based on a pun. You might've heard that the Japanese word "kami" means "god" or "spirit". And "o" is a prefix that means "great", so "o-kami" means "great goddess". Her whole title, "Amaterasu-no-okami" means "the great goddess shining in the heavens". But also, the word "okami" just means "wolf". So no, "Okami" is not the name of the land or world the game takes place in. The world of the game is actually called Nippon, which is Japanese for... "Japan" =)

Also, you'll probably already know this by the time you'll be reading this, but yes, both Resets are the same song, the instrumental one you heard two years ago plays during an event in the game, and the one you heard now is the credits song.
