Ebisu

Ebisu

恵比寿

Eibisu is the local god of the land and serves as the patron of merchants. His intentions are often misinterpreted because of his actions. He runs a convenience store close to his shrine where he has two stone imperial guardian lions, named Kōga and Eiga, which he can bring to life. He is a real god unlike a yōkai like Kūgen Tenko, so he is able to overpower Kūgen without trying too much especially by the use of kotodama since he is the most powerful in his territory. He usually seems very jovial and friendly but is extremely sharp and sly and sometimes might be harsh. He keeps note of any new yōkai that enter his domain. First appearance in episode 2.
