The statue was dressed in armor, raised the right hand to get the weapon (geki) upright. The stoutly built body and furious face with opened mouth give a tremendous impact. It came from Kōfukuji Temple and originally constituted a set of Four Guardian Kings with Kōmokuten (Skt. Virūpāṣa) and Tamonten (Skt. Vaiśravaṇa).
