Although the ancient designations are still adhered to, in modern Shinto many priests also consider kami to be anthropomorphic spirits, with nobility and authority.
These include such mythological figures as Amaterasu Omikami, the sun goddess of the Shinto pantheon.
Although these kami can be considered deities, they are not necessarily considered omnipotent or omniscient, and like the Greek Gods, they had flawed personalities and were quite capable of ignoble acts.
In the myths of Amaterasu, for example, she could see the events of the human world, but had to use divination rituals to see the future.
