Does it matter?

Its a guy for sure

Is that the official name for the character? Because that's terrible. 
 
But I'm gonna say female since it was a female in okami.

Well, considering both Shiranui and her reincarnation Amaterasu were female, I'm gonna say Chibiterasu will be female as well.
 
But the wolf in the pic could go either way, really.

It's a he.

It's genderless, isn't it? It's only refered to as a "she" in english for convinience. And yeah I think it's the same ammy as in the last game, in a slightly different body.

 How is it terrible, there's very litte difference between this name and Amaterasu. Chibi means small in Japanese, hence why they've called he or she Chibiterasu.  Back on topic, Shinto gods take on both male and female forms, so this is not another case of Capcom taking liberties with Clover and Kamiya's work again. In fact I would not be surprised in Kamiya was in fact consulted beforehand.  "

I think Chibiterasu is pretty crap.
 
A lot of the names and whatnot in Okami were taken from religion, history and old tales etc. like Amaterasu and Issun. It was so focused, having the art style, music, names, and everything. It was tapping into all this stuff to really evoke the sense of old Japan and folklore.
 
To have a different character to Ammy, but for some reason is a wolf too, and then call it Chibiterasu seems silly, and I feel as though it's not really respecting the prevous game.
 
As for the question, Amaterasu was female since she was a godess. I really have no idea story-wise what Chibiterasu is, and how it's existence can be justified only a few months after the end of the first game.

I don't know, the picture doesn't lend itself one way or the other. I think I can be patient and wait to find out though.

Technically if its a god, it might be both....

I understand about reincarnation, but i don't know why that would happen in the first place. Ammy went of with Waka all happy to the celestial plain.The land had been saved. Issun was holding it down and everyone believed in the gods. I can't see Ammy both dying and ressurecting, and demons returning to the land once again within a few months. In the case of reincarnation, I don't understand why her whole name would change, though that could be a little nickname from one of the characters I suppose. Okami was narrated by an old Issun, and by that timeframe all the events of this new game should have happened by then. EDIT: Looking at the ending again, he does say there's more story to tell actually.
 
Shiranui to Amaterasu was a nice traditional 100-year cycle, and she only returned after she was needed and called upon. Even then it was in proper form, not like a baby version. I wouldn't imagine that a weird young version ever existed. If by some chance Ammy had a son, that would be a different god entirely, with different powers and appearance I imagine.

I guess i'm thinking about it too much, and there's more information to be revealed for sure, but it just doesn't seem right to me thus far. They can come up with some explanation for all this, but I doubt that it'll be satisying.

If this matters to you, you need to consult a psychiatrist now.

Just go, the doctor will explain everything and the medication should help.

Either way: aaaaawwwww.

everyone who is saying that Chibiterasu is a female! Your wrong! Just because Okami Amaterasu was female does not mean her pup will be the same gender! Chibiterasu is MALE! NOT FEMALE! Youtube the walkthrough for Okamiden and it will say that Chibiterasu is male! DUR!!! >:/
