BISHAMON
Shinto War God
Also known as Bishamon-Ten, Bishamonten
Good Fortune God of War
Clad in fearsome armor, he sorts out enemies, protects against disease and loves a good demon-bashing. He also hands out rewards to the law-abiding.
If that all sounds good, it’s probably because he’s also a Good Fortune God. See Shichi Fukujin.
