Answer:
Kami
Explanation:
At some point, that word was used to represent the same idea that the west had of a god or gods, but before that, it was frequently used to define the sacred spirits that take form of things and concepts that are important in life. In Shinto Belief, humans become Kami once they die and they're revered by their family as an ancestral Kami. The "Sun Goddess" called Amaterasu is considered to be Shinto's most important kami.
