Kongooboo 金剛坊 Kongo-Bo
象頭山金剛坊 - Kongobo, Zozusan from Kagawa

Konpira Gongen 金毘羅権現, the Deity from Konpira had a band of Tengu as his followers.
One of them was Konpiraboo 黒眷属 金比羅坊 Kurokenzoku Konpira-Bo.
Another Tengu follower was Shukaiboo 趣海坊 Shukai-Bo 　(海趣坊 Kaishu-Bo).

During the Sengoku period of warring states (around 1500) the fourth abbot of temple 象頭山松尾寺金光院 Matsuo-Ji of Zozusan, named 金剛坊宥盛 Kongo-Bo Yusei, vowed shortly before dying that he would become a Tengu and protect the Deity of Konpira.
During the Edo period, many pilgrims came to Konpira from Edo, carrying a backpack with a Tengu mask.
