Mahamayuri as seen in Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers.
One of the Buddhist 5 Vajra-rajas (wisdom kings). They are personified by peacocks because of their habit of preying on snakes (nagas) and symbolize the resistance of terror and disaster. In Vajrayana Buddhism he is thought to be one of the avatars of Gautama Buddha.
In Japan, he is known as Kujaku Myo-O (Peacock Wisdom King) and is also revered as a god of rain prayed to in times of drought, poisoning, and disaster.

"Known as Kujaku Myou-oh in Japan, he is known to remove misfortune, fear, and poison. This is because he is the deification of the peacock, which eats poisonous snakes. He is often portrayed as riding a peacock, holding a lotus or peacock feather, and with a graceful expression, unlike the other Wisdom Kings that are depicted in more wrathful fashion. In Shingon Buddhism, founded by the monk Kukai, it is said he is an incarnation of Buddha, taking that form to enlighten people."
