Whirlwind is a secret brush skill in the video game, Okami, that lets Okami Amaterasu create a tornado around her that will blow all her enemies away. It is an upgrade from the brush technique "Galestorm", which harnesses the wind. Whirlwind will become unlocked when you complete the Fisherman's sidequest in North Ryoshima Coast by bringing him the marlin fishing rod and catching a marlin. Once you catch the marlin go back to the restaurant and speak to Umi.
To use Whirlwind, draw three horizontal lines with your PS2 controller or Wii remote, depending on which version of the game you're playing.
