GAMA-SENNIN
Shinto Immortality God
Also known as Gama-Kosensei, Kosensei
Toady sage of longevity
This is a sage with a toad. Would you take advice from a pair like this? He even resembles his toad partner, having a bald head, bandy legs and warty skin. The ugly toad look is extremely fashionable amongst immortal sages, and has been for several thousand years.
The venerable Gama-Sennin learned all the secrets of immortality from a frog. He carries a scroll of secret wisdom, and even if you can persuade him to unroll it, it’s all written in an ancient Japanese text which only immortal sages and toads understand.
He is a dead ringer for the Chinese immortal Liu Hai, even down to the pet amphibian. When you are live forever you can never have too many extra lives.
