Kongō Yaksha Myō-ō is one of the five Wisdom Kings of Buddhist mythology. He is a destroyer of human desires and represents strength, and he represents amongst the five the direction north. His rite is extremely successful in subduing demons and enemies as well as gaining the love and respect of others. A mandala is dedicated to him, while the Tendai Buddhists tend to replace him with Ususama.
