Kagutsuchi · 軻遇突智 — King of the Destructive Flame

The supreme fire deity of Japanese mythology. At the moment of his birth, his flames burned his mother Izanami to death — a symbol that creation and destruction are inseparable. Slain by his grief-stricken father Izanagi, yet from his blood and body fragments dozens of divine beings were born. Fire is both death and birth, and he is the king who embodies that contradiction in himself.
