Bishamonten is the guard of the first gate that Ranma has to face in order to find and save Akane, where she is being held captive by Kirin, and being forced to marry him. Bishamonten is a powerful warrior, and defeated when Happosai uses a bomb and blows up the Gate, burying Bishamonten underneath all the rubble. He uses a Naginata weapon, and is quick to anger, and very loyal to his master, Kirin.
