Oguchi Magami, meaning "Large-Mouthed True God," is a wolf deity venerated in parts of the Kanto and Chubu regions of Japan, notably associated with sacred sites such as Mitsumine Shrine. Traditionally regarded as a divine messenger or guardian spirit, this wolf deity has long been linked with protection, particularly against fire, theft, and misfortune affecting homes and travelers. Devotion to Oguchi Magami reflects a broader folk tradition of wolf worship in mountainous Japan, where the animal was seen as a fierce yet benevolent guardian of the natural and human world.
