BISHAMON

Shinto War God

Also known as Bishamon-Ten, Bishamonten

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.
