In mythic accounts Amihan appears in the Malakas and Maganda creation story as the bird who frees or rescues the first humans from a bamboo; in cultural usage the same term denotes the recurring amihan season across the Philippines.
Amikiri
An illustrated yōkai first attested in Toriyama Sekien's Gazu Hyakki Yagyō (1776), later described in modern writings as a small creature that cuts nets, mosquito curtains, and bamboo blinds. Scholarly commentary treats it as primarily an iconographic invention or pun by Sekien rather than a well‑attested folkloric agent.

Amitābha is a central celestial Buddha of Mahayana Buddhism who presides over the western Pure Land called Sukhāvatī.

He is a human protagonist whose story centers on feigned madness, cunning survival, exile to Britain, marriage, wealth-gathering, and eventual vengeance against his father's murderer; the tale later inspired the character of Shakespeare's Hamlet and numerous adaptations.

He appears in Eblaite offering lists and an incantation context allied with weather cults and apotropaic ritual action.
