	Seitaka Doji (Buddhist character)

Note: Attendant to Fudō-Myōō, one of the Five Kings of Brightness (Godai Myo-o) who protect and uphold Buddhist law and practices. Often depicted alongside Fudō-Myōō as a young boy, sometimes with red skin to represent expediency in actions, particularly those from the Kamakura and Nanbokucho periods (1185-1392 CE). Other depictions from the Heian period (794-1185 CE) show Seitaka Doji as an older man with exaggerated facial features.
