Profile

Shin Megami Tensei II

Atavaka is the leader of the Shinshou and is also found in the Geburah section of Makai along with the Shinshou. He was told by Lucifer to block the entrance to the Atziluth corridor, so he turned the town of Geburah into an iron fortress so that he and the Shinshou could test Aleph's power in battle. He is fought in his room after all of the twelve members of the Shinshou have been defeated.

Shin Megami Tensei IMAGINE

Atavaka appears as the final boss of the Nakano Boundless Domain instance. Players can obtain the ability to fuse him in a special double-fusion by acquiring a rare object from the endchest there. He is a fusion of Hanuman and Yaksa.

Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne 

Atavaka can be summoned by Megami Sarasvati and Fury Beiji-Weng.

Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon

"The god of warfare and protection in Buddhist lore. Also called the Great General Myo-o. When Siddhartha died, he imparted the teachings of Buddha to the gods and made them swear to protect humanity."

—Gouma-Den Devil Chart

Atavaka appears as a boss in Chapter Three in the Great Summoner's Hall if Raidou is Neutral/Chaos-aligned. He inflicts fatal injuries on High Pixie during the fight against Nagi, which leads to her death after Raidou beats him.

Persona 4

"Among the eight Yashaou, and one of Bishamonten's attendants. Originally a child-eating demon, he was converted by the Buddha and became a protector figure."

—Persona 4 compendium

Atavaka can be found during Shuffle Time in the Yomotsu Hirasaka dungeon.

Persona 5 Royal

"One of the eight Yashaou. His domain is war and protection. Once a child-eating demon, he became one of the Wisdom Kings after Buddha converted him to good."

—Persona 5 Royal Background

Atavaka is the fifth Persona of the Faith Arcana and can be found in Shido's Palace and in the Sheriruth area of Mementos with the title "Infuriated Wisdom King." He is the last of five Personas to learn the Oni-Kagura skill, and the third of seven to learn the Maragidyne and Mediarahan skills. When itemized through Electric Chair Execution in the Velvet Room, Atavaka will yield the Brave Blade skill card. During a fusion alarm, he will yield the Sword Dance Skill Card. 

Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner

Atavaka first appears as a boss in Manipura and reappears later in the game as a normal encounter.

Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner 2

Two Atavaka take part in a second ambush in the Karma Society Tower, after defeating the two Eligor enemies. Upon trying to question a surviving Karma Soldier, the other group will shoot the survivor and transform into Atavaka to attack the party. They will later start appearing in normal encounters on the 20th floor.
