Oh thanks!

I only know the Lord of Hell according to Buddhism. It is Emma-O (Yama). You also can check Hindu mythologies. All the best.

Actually, most of Yokai was created AFTER the arrival of Buddhism.

I like this topic.

Japanese hell looks a lot like Christian hell. People being roasted, sliced up, eaten, boiled, and all sorts.

The Hell is the same with Hindu Hell.
