In Asian region, to be more specific in Japan.. there is Amaterasu.. or a sun-goddess... She was born from the left eye of Izanagi as he purified himself in a river and went on to become the ruler of the Higher Celestial Plain.
Amaterasu is described as the goddess from which all light emanates and
is often referred to as the sun goddess because of her warmth and
compassion for the people who worshipped her. Some other myths state
that Amaterasu was born from water.
