Enma Daiō is a figure from Japanese mythology, often regarded as the king of the underworld. He is responsible for judging the souls of the deceased and determining their fate in the afterlife. Enma is typically depicted as a stern figure with a fierce appearance, often holding a staff and surrounded by various demonic beings. In traditional beliefs, Enma Daiō is associated with the concept of karma, where the actions of individuals during their lives influence their judgment after death. He is sometimes linked to the Buddhist figure Yama, who serves a similar role in other cultures. Enma's character emphasizes the importance of moral conduct and accountability.
