Four Heavenly KingsWP (四天王, Shiten'nō?), also called Yorimitsu's Four Heavenly Kings (頼光四天王, Yorimitsu Shiten'nō?), was a group of samurai that operated in Japan during the Heian PeriodWP. Their leader was Minamoto-no-Raikou.
As a Servant, Raikou's Noble Phantasm Vengeful Lightning of the Ox-king lets her wield the Four Heavenly Kings' weapons.
Description[]
The Four Heavenly Kings was established by Minamoto no Raikou, and consisted of his four retainers, with the duty to protect the imperial capital from all possible threats.[1] Their most famous conflict was the battle against the many Oni of Mt. OoeWP, which included Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji.
It was stated by Watanabe-no-Tsuna that he was the Head of the Four Heavenly Kings.[2] Even amongst the group, Tsuna was the one Raikou held in the highest regard, and the other three members admired him as they would a brother.[3]
Raikou faced with “Ushi-Gozen”… the demon inside her, and Ushi Gozen finally separated from Raikou, manifesting as an avatar of Gozu Tennou. The sky became a storm, the thunder roared chaotically, and the earth broke apart. Together with the Four Heavenly Kings, Raikou was to “kill herself” in order to defeat this being.[1]
As the strongest of the Heian period, the Settsu Armor Kumano was Minamoto-no-Raikou and her Four Heavenly Kings' favorite set of armor.[4] The same set that took down the Great Tsuchigumo of the Kitayama Rendai field.[5][4]
Raikou and the Four Heavenly Kings were sent to kill Sei Shounagon’s brother Kiyohara-no-Munenobu after he killed twenty Genji warriors.
