Rāgarāja
Aizen Myō'ō 爱染明王
One of the Vidyārāja, or Wisdom Kings, Rāgarāja (Lust-Drenched One) is said to transform worldly lust into spiritual awakening. Said to have been a Hindu deity, he is still invoked today in Japan, principally by the Shingon and Tendai sects.
Informally, though, he is said to be the patron deity of prostitutes, landlords, singers and musicians. He is also considered to be a god of love, especially popular with gay men.
Depiction by the late Japanese artist Sadao Hasegawa.
