*''Japanese'': 大将軍 ''(Daishougun)''
Daishôgun is a guardian spirit primarily associated with protection of the imperial capital and presiding over all four directions. He was particularly prominent in the [[Heian period]], when sites such as [[Shogunzuka|Shôgunzuka]] and [[Daishogun Shrine|Daishôgun Shrine]] were established to help protect the capital.
The name literally means "great general," but is not directly related to the [[samurai]] class or samurai rulers ([[shogun]]).
