Idaten or Ida-Ten (イダテン, Idaten) is a demon in the series.
History
Idaten is a god of the kitchen who looks after the provisions of the Buddhist brotherhood. The original Sanskrit term for Idaten seems to be Skanda (and not Veda as may be suggested from i-da or wei-t'o). He is one of the eight generals belonging to Virudhaka, the guardian god of the southern quarter. He is a great runner and wherever there is trouble he is instantly found there. In the Chinese monastery he occupies an important seat in the hall of the four guardian gods, but in Japan he is in a little shrine attached to the monks' dining-room.
