Kinashut Kamuy : ウィキペディア英語版 | Kinashut Kamuy Kinashut Kamuy is the Ainu ''kamuy'' (''god'') of snakes. He is a benevolent figure who is called upon for protection against various calamities. ==Mythology== Kinashut Kamuy is depicted as generally benevolent and helpful to humans. He controls the behavior of snakes, protecting those who venerate him from their bites. In Ainu mythology, snake spirits are believed to possess people and cause a variety of ailments such as eye disease and paralysis, and Kinashut Kamuy is appealed to in order to exorcise these spirits from a victim. He also offers communities protection against other diseases, particularly typhoid.〔Ashkenazy, Michael. ''Handbook of Japanese Mythology''. Santa Barbara, California: ABC-Clio, 2003. 199〕 He is generally said to be the brother of Nusakoro Kamuy, but the two are sometimes regarded as a single entity.
