EBISU
Shinto Fishing God
Also known as Yebisu
Good Luck God of Fishing
One of the Shichi Fukujin team of Lucky Gods. He is the Kami to talk to if you need a big catch. However, his nature is as slippery and elusive as a wild fish.
The only one of the Shichi Fukujin to originate in Japan, he may have been Hiruko before he caught the good luck bug.
