14	'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SomaSaito\
15	'''Type:''' Deva (天)\
16	'''Element:''' Fire (火)\
17	'''Illustrated by:''' Ekka
18	Guardian of the North and commander-in-chief of the Four Heavenly Kings, possibly the least quirky member of this faction as a calm and composed leader.
19	----
20	* ByThePowerOfGrayskull[=/=]CallingYourAttacks: For spell ''Shiō Zaibun''; the activating command is ''destroy'' (''gakai seyo'').
21	* CoolBigBro: Having the trust of the Heavenly Kings under his command as well as the ''complete'' and ''utter'' admiration and devotion of General Sanshi, naturally he qualifies for this position.
22	* CovertPervert: May or may not be one if his reply to [[ShamelessFanserviceGuy Hana]] is anything to go by.
23	-->'''Tamon:''' (''It's also important to be honest with one's feelings…'')
24	* DefeatMeansFriendship: Twice, on both receiving and giving ends. He became Taishakuten's helper after being defeated by him and Sanshi became his disciple under similar circumstances.
25	* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Phlegmatic; he's the most "normal" Heavenly King in terms of personality, and is generally cool and level-headed.
26	* HiddenDepths: He's a notorious hoarder whose room is practically a garbage dump, but this is out of a belief that anything and everything he can get his hands on may be useful in the future.
27	* TheLeader: Of the Four Heavenly Kings.
28	* LiteralSplitPersonality: He and Bishamonten are the same person – they're just different ways of referring to one ''Vaiśravaṇa'' – but they exist as two entities alongside one another in this universe. Probably explains why they're [[ActingForTwo voiced by the same person]] as well.
29	* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Downplayed, he's the only Heavenly King with long hair and has the smooth, beardless face of a {{Bishonen}}, but the physical build of a {{Hunk}}.
30	* TheMentor: To General Sanshi.
31	* PurpleIsPowerful: Has purple hair, clothes with a predominantly purple scheme, and is the highest Heavenly King.
32	* RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Sanshi's Red; he's much more calm and authoritative than his irritable and short-tempered disciple.
33	* SupernaturalGoldEyes
34	* TemporaryOnlineContent: He is a limited Buddha only available for summon on events.
35	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: His attendant reply to Kangiten reveals he likes ''kenchin'' soup… which conveniently is the [[OneNoteCook only dish]] Sanshi knows how to cook.
36	* TrashOfTheTitans: His room is a complete and utter mess due to his hoarding tendency, and even as Sanshi and Kōmoku discreetly throw things out of his room, he just ''brings them back''.
37	* UndyingLoyalty: To Taishakuten; the entire Four Heavenly Kings are under his command, but being their chief as well as Taishakuten's [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe direct beneficiary]], Tamon displays this the most.
38	* WalkingShirtlessScene: His battle gear is extremely revealing: only his arms, shoulders and neck are covered and guarded, while nothing covers his torso save for two leather straps across it.
39	* YouRemindMeOfX: His "DefeatMeansFriendship and learning the value of companions" backstory is in many ways similar to that of Sanshi's, which he admits to the latter.

55	* {{Keet}}: A cheerful, energetic young man.
56	* MagicMusic: His ''biwa'' playing apparently has the ability to improve food crops.
57	* VitriolicBestBuds: While close friends with Zōjō, he enjoys teasing him and getting on his bad side.
58	* WalkingShirtlessScene: His battle wear is even more revealing than Tamon's – he lacks the elastic garment covering the arms and neck.

74	* LifeOfTheParty: A hardcore party addict whose schedule is often clogged by partying, and sees no problem with partying from early morning to night until he collapses.
75	* PunctuatedForEmphasis: He introduces himself as '''ZŌ! JŌ! TEN!'''

83	'''Illustrated by:''' Eda
84	Guardian of the West, owner of magical-seeing eyes which he conceals due to past troubles.
85	----
86	* BlessedWithSuck: Though his eye powers prove useful in combat situations, they come with nasty side consequences that landed him in trouble in the past and necessitate limiting them with a pair of shades.
87	-->'''Kōmoku:''' To see things I don't want to see… that is my karmic retribution…
88	* ByThePowerOfGrayskull[=/=]CallingYourAttacks: For spell ''Jintoku Senrigan''; the activating command is ''reflect'' (''utsushidase'').
89	* CoolShades: Subverted; he undeniably looks cool with them, but he doesn't wear them for aesthetics. They're meant to limit his eyesight.
90	* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Melancholic.
91	* MagicalEyes: True to his name, he has a pair which allows him to see everything within a very wide area, because of which he wears sunglasses to limit this power.
92	* NosyNeighbor: His all-seeing eyes can be and have been used to peep in on other people out of curiosity, for instance Tamon and Sanshi's training and a social skill class Rasetsu takes that he doesn't want anyone to know. Tamon calls him out on this.
93	* PaperMaster: While his fellow Kings use a staff, a sword and a spear, he fights with an open scroll.
94	* PowerLimiter: The sunglasses, which prevent him from seeing too much.
95	* PowerPerversionPotential: The not-so-clean-and-innocent side effect of his eye powers is brought up as the prospect of being constantly watched by him gives [[CovertPervert Nanda]] the hots.
