Ōkami (大神, lit. "great god", though also a pun for "wolf") is an action-adventure video game made by Clover Studio and published by Capcom for the PlayStation 2 and Wii. It is about an ancient Shinto sun Goddess named Amaterasu in a form of a white wolf. It uses cel-shaded 3D visuals.
A HD version of the game was made for PlayStation 3.
