History

Kinmamon, also known as "the God from Beyond the Sea, Marebito," it is an enigmatic god from Japanese lore. It is related to Amaterasu, which is implied from the few known sources of Kinmamon. Kinmamon is an enigmatic and mysterious deity of Ryuku shinto, which is practiced on the Ryuku islands. Its connections with sea travel and suggestion that it brought life to the Ryukyu Islands imply that it was a deity introduced from across the sea. Kinmamon's name means "The True One" which is believed to be a title for shrine maidens, leading to the belief that Kinmamon is the deity of shrine maidens.

Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse

Kinmamon can be created through a Special fusion of Salamander, Gnome, Sylph and Undine. He can teach Nanashi the Mediarama, Megido and Megidola skills through his Demon Whisper. He benefits from learning Almighty, Fire, ailment and healing skills, but will not have as much damage output as other casters while leveling up due to his stats not being allocated as much to Magic.
