Five Wisdom Kings / Godai Myoo: Kongo Yasha Myoo (五大明王 金剛夜叉明王)

Five Myoos come together to form the group of Myoo; Fudo Myoo is at the center, with Gozanze Myoo, Gundari Myoo, Daiitoku Myoo, and Kongoyasha Myoo positioned around it to the north, south, east, and west. The five great Myoo are the most powerful forms of anger that get rid of various obstacles, but they also completely envelop and protect the center and the four cardinal directions. Thus, it is said that the five Myoo have both great power and benefits.
