She adorns Japanese attire, resembling a kimono much larger than herself, to the point that it touches the ground, with a hair ornament that ties her hair in the back.

Trivia

• Among the thunder gods, Taikyoku seems to represent Ō-ikazuchi (大雷, Great Thunder), coming from Izanami's head and embodying the most powerful lightning strike, in line with her role as leader of the Eight Thunder Gods.
