Mishaguji was a native god worshiped in the ancient Shinto region of Japan before the Yamato took control, at which point the worship of it became a taboo. Mishaguji was the god of sexual intercourse and if he was left an offering, then sex would become better. It is said that Mishaguji's incarnation on Earth had a very phallic shape, possibly similar to an earthworm, and he would take shelter under rocks or stones. Once Yamato took control however, Mishaguji became seen as a god that only the undesirable and unfaithful would worship.
"Origin: Japan. A malevolent god that is enshrined at Suwa. Since he is also considered Tatari-gami, careful worship is required. Some theories say that when Take-Minakata escaped Suwa to get away from Take-Mikazuchi, he became a native there and became Mishaguji"

Trivia
According to the Japanese scholar Yanagita Kunio, Mishaguji used to be a guardian deity for travelers, worshiped under the guise of a phallic stone pillar; at the same time, due to religious syncretism, one of his other forms was that of a white Japanese rat snake.
It is thus possible that Mishaguji's design was inspired by a combination between the snake [2] and pillar [3] forms.
