A Japanese exorcist. The story goes that the wife of the governor of Nikaido district was terrible ill. Nikibo cured her but the governor refused to pay him, having him executed instead. The exorcist then went to live on top of a tree as a ball of fire. Inside the fire his face could still be seen. Shortly after, the governor died of a mysterious disease.
