Origin
Kinmamon is the central god of Ijun (いじゅん), a new religion originating from Okinawa that later spreading to Hawaii. According to the religion's founder, Rokurō Takayasu, Kinmamon spoke to him in his dreams during the early 70s. Described as being the collective embodiment the cosmos and spiritual embodiment of all other kami, particularly the kami of Okinawa. Later into the life of the religion, Kinmamon was additionally described by Takayasu as maintaining the samsara, having taken the place of the Buddha after he voluntarily stepped down from the role. When appearing before Takayasu, Kinmamon would grant him knowledge of warnings of a protective nature and healing. In line with other kami and beliefs from Okinawa, Kinmamon is associated with healing. Within the Hawaiian sect of the religion, Kinmamon is notably conflated with the goddess Pele.
