Guanshiyin/Kanzeon, also known as Guanyin/Kannon, is a Bodhisattva in Buddhism. She is an East Asian variation of the Bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara; while Guanyin is depicted as female in East Asia, Avalokiteśvara is traditionally depicted as male in other regions.

Guanyin/Avalokiteśvara is associated with the famous mantra om mani padme hum.

Design

Kanzeon's design is overall similar to Himiko's, but with additional antennas to represent that she has greater information gathering abilities than Himiko.
