Sōjōbō (僧正坊?, lit. "high Buddhist priest") is the mythical king of the tengu, minor deities who inhabit the mountains of forests of Japan. Sōjōbō is an ancient yamabushi (mountain hermit) tengu with long, white hair and an unnaturally long
nose. He carries a fan made from seven
feathers as a sign of his position at the
top of tengu society. He is extremely
powerful, and one legend says he has
the strength of 1,000 normal tengu. Sōjōbō lives on Mount Kurama (north of Kyoto). Sōjōbō is perhaps best known for
teaching the warrior Minamoto no Yoshitsune (then known by his childhood name Ushiwaka-maru or Shanao) the
arts of swordsmanship, tactics, and magic in the 12th century. In fact, the name "Sōjōbō" originates from
Sōjōgatani, the valley at Mount Kurama
near Kibune Shrine associated with the Shugenja. It is in this valley that
Ushiwaka trained with Sōjōbō in legend.
This relationship serves as the basis of
many Japanese woodblock prints, including one by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi. Also in some Japanese villages, parents
spread the myth that he eats little boys to
stop them going into the forests at night.
Madara has sojobo humanoid version. Sojobo has a fan similar to uchiha madaras one. And he's living in mt.kurama. Kurama is kyubi name lol. And kurama related to madara too.
