A man of Hida in the eighth-century chronicle, described as having two faces on one trunk, who would not obey the court and was killed by a general sent against him. In Hida itself two Buddhist temples name the same figure as their founder, one of them crediting him with subduing a dragon, and a harvest festival has carried his name since 2001. Seen from the capital he is a body with too many faces; seen from the valley he is the man who opened the mountain.
