Talk:Otogo-Douji

Is Otogo Douji actually Gohou Douji?
Researching while making a list, i stumbled upon the deity/spirit Gohou Douji, and when reading the description about it and seeing a picture depicting him i realized that he is very similar to this demon`s design.

So, could this demon`s name be mistranslated? or actually Otogo Douji is a Gohou Douji?

Anyone with knowledge about Japanese mythology maybe could solve this out for me, because there is almost no information about Otogo Douji on the net.

I`ll quote the description i found in wikipedia: ''A gohō dōji (護法童子?) is a spirit from Japanese Buddhist folklore. (...) '''it is generally depicted as having the appearance of a young boy wearing a collar of swords, with a large sword in one hand and a noose in the other. It flies through the air by riding a Wheel of Dharma.'

Also an illustration i found about it: http://fototapeta.art.pl/2006/i/pfo/DSC_1268.jpg
