Ainu (aynu itak, アイヌ語): Kunne chup, chup  (Second most important god of Ainu; Kunne chup Kamui, the moon god; the moon; (lit. Black luminary Deity.

CHUP ORO USH GURU ORUSHPE. (The Tale of the Man on the Moon)
  Otdea anakne ona itak unu itak shomo nu, a wakka tare yakka kopan, aine, kamui irushka gusu, chu-kamui samata a-ande, moshirebita a-upakashinu gusu an gune. Chup orush gune. Tambe gusu shinrit itak wen yakka pirika yakka a-nup ne na. Tambe neyakka utarobitta nu yan.

In ancient times there was a lad who would neither obey his father nor his mother, and who even disliked to fetch water; so, the gods being angry, they put him in the side of the moon as a warning to all people. This is the man in the moon. For this reason, let all the world understand that the words of parents, whether they be good or evil, must be obeyed.

tak pita katu. (Explanation of the Tale)
  Wakka a-tare gusu a-ye yakka etoranne. Orowa, inumbe notakup ari tata. Orowa, soineko apa samaketa okai ikushbe, nei-ambe neyakka, taugi taugi wa, inu bata! ikushbe ne gusu shomo wakka ta ruwe okai Orowa, pishako niwatush ani wa pet otta san;--pet otta san ita shupun cheppo hemesu nukara, awa, otta ene itaki, inu bata! shupun ne gusu, toi pone op, wen pone op, shomo wakka to ruwe okai Orowa shui, ichaniu chep nukara, oi mimi pene, wen mimi pene, Ainu bata ! shomo wakka ta ruwe okai Orowa, imakaketa san ko kamui chep nukara, awa, amui chep kamui, iyangarapte iyangarapte Orowa, nani chep kamui orowa a-uk ruwe ne. Chep kamui orowa a-uk wa, nani chup otta a-ande ruwe ne. Tane wakka ta etoranne guru kamui irushka ko anakne ene akari tapa na.

  Though the lad was ordered to draw water he was idle, and sat chopping the fireplace with an edged tool. As he went out, he beat the door-post, sayingAh me! You being a door-post, do not have to draw water! Then, taking the laddle and the bucket, he went down to the river;--and, when he came to the river, he saw a little shupun fish coming up stream, to which he said, h me! because youou awfully bony creaturere a fish, you do not have to draw water! Again, seeing a salmon-trout, he said, h me! you soft, flabby creature, you do not have to draw water! Then, descending thence, he saw an autumn salmon, to which he saidHow do you do, how do you do, Mr. Salmon and straightway he was seized by the salmon, and, for the instruction of all people, was placed in the moon. Thus do the angry gods to those who dislike to draw water.(Ref. #270-275)
