Card Trivia

 This monster is based on the Shinto deity of the moon, also known as Tsukuyomi-no-mikoto and Tsukuyomi-no-kami. The name Tsukuyomi is a combination of the Japanese words for moon (tsuki) and reading (yomu). Another interpretation is that his name is a combination of moonlit night (Tsukiyo) and a verb meaning to look at (miru). Yet another interpretation is that the kanji for bow (弓, yumi) was corrupted with the kanji for yomi. Yomi also may refer to the Japanese underworld, though this interpretation is unlikely. It is also interesting to note the apparent morphological parallelism with the Japanese word koyomi, which means calendar and is believed to possibly be derived from a compound of the obsolete Old Japanese word ke (generally believed to have meant days) and the gerund of the Japanese verb yomu, which means to read in the modern language, but originally had meanings varying from to chant, to compose (poetry), to babble, and to count (as in the Japanese idiomatic expression, saba-o yomu, which signifies the act of falsifying one's age).
Tsukuyomi was the second of the three noble children born when Izanagi, the god who created the first land Onögörö-shima, was cleansing himself of his sins while bathing himself after escaping the underworld and the clutches of his enraged dead wife, Izanami. Tsukuyomi was born when Izanagi washed out of his right eye. However, in an alternate story, Tsukuyomi was born from a mirror made of white copper in Izanagi's right hand. The other children were Amaterasu and Susa no O.
The kanji in this card's Japanese name properly reads Tsukuyomi no Mikoto (or Tsukiyomi no Mikoto, literally The Venerable Tsukuyomi), rather than just Tsukuyomi.
This card was Forbidden for twelve formats before becoming Limited once more, which was the most of any card (surpassing Dark Holes nine). It shared this distinction with Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning, although both were surpassed by Magician of Faiths thirteen in the TCG and Cyber-Steins sixteen in the OCG.
This card is one of only eight cards to have been Forbidden in the past that are now Unlimited. The other seven are Injection Fairy Lily, United We Stand, Breaker the Magical Warrior, Call of the Haunted, Spore, Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning, and Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End.
This card was formerly one of 2 Forbidden Spirit monsters, the other (and still Forbidden) one being Yata-Garasu.

Dark Mimic LV3: If "Dark Mimic LV3" is Special Summoned by the effect of "Dark Mimic LV1" and the opponent Summons "Tsukuyomi" to flip "Dark Mimic LV3" face-down and then attacks it, you will only draw 1 card because its effect was reset when it was flipped face-down.
