Wide range divine beings such as him are commonly viewed as gods of good luck and that seems to be what took place in Japan as well. Some prominent instances consist bishamonten noragami gif of the Noragami anime collection where Bishamon is a women battle siren and a protectress of warriors as well as one of the 4 Gods of Ton Of Money.
