	Reason: Needs more info about Ryūkyū Shintō-ki

Kinmamon is a Ryukyuan deity historically attested in the 1605 text Ryūkyū Shintō-ki, which was written by a Japanese monk named Taichū during his stay in the Ryukyu Kingdom.

In the present day, Kinmamon is the central god of Ijun (いじゅん), a new religion originating from Okinawa that later spread to Hawaii. According to the religion's founder, Rokurō Takayasu, Kinmamon spoke to him in his dreams during the early 1970s. 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. He is associated with healing and can be interacted with through female priests as with the kami in traditional Okinawan Shinto. 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.
