Looking likely to be Matarajin.
Facts about Matarajin I found while googling.
>Matarajin is praised at the rear of the temple where exorcism ceremonies are performed.
>Matarajin was introduced to Japan from China by Ennin as a protector deity of the Amida Sutra. >Some say he is also the secretary of Emma, the main deity of the Buddhist Hell.
>A deity who afflicts humanity with disease, praying to him will help avoid disease. (Reimu has dealt with these kinds of gods who force worship with disease in CoLA)
>He holds a drum and is accompanied by two dancing children.
>Can predict good and bad fortune.
>Sometimes depicted with 3 faces in red, white, and gold.
>A yashka
