Profile

Origin

Hachiman (八幡) is a Japanese god of war and archery. While a native Japanese deity, Hachiman has incorporated Buddhist elements due to religious syncretism in Japan. Hachiman came to be identified as a deification of Emperor Ōjin, who, according to tradition, is the 15th emperor of Japan who reigned from AD 270 to 310.

Design

Hachiman's design is inspired by a theory that Hachiman was originally the same as the God of the Hebrews.
