Shin Megami Tensei IV
|
Sugawara no Michizane was a noble of the Heian period who was also a well-known scholar, poet, and politician.
Born into a family of scholars, he used his abilities to become a minister of the right, but due to a conspiracy by his rival Fujiwara no Tokihira, he was demoted to a post in Dazaifu, north Kyushu, where he died a regrettable death. After his death, plague and drought spread throughout Japan, causing many to fear that Michizane had cursed them. Several lightning strikes on the Seiryoden resulted in many deaths, and his ghost became known as a god of thunder. After building a shrine for him, the curse eventually died down. He was worshipped as a fearsome god, but as time passed, memories of his wrath faded, and people then discovered his works as a scholar and poet, turning him into a god of scholarship.
