This should be a disambig page. Fujin is much more important in the context of Japanese mythology; multiple games/anime/manga, including Final Fantasy and Flame of Recca, have characters based on this name. In addition, various places in China are named Fujin.--Confuzion 19:40, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Don't forget Zelda the Wind Waker, that had Raijin and Fujin in it. ^^
[edit] pictures
Why is there a random picture of other wind gods on this page? It seems not terribly relevant. The page is about Fujin, not about wind deities in general. Penelope D 14:27, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Video Games??
I think the video-game stuff is completely over the top. If I want to read about an ancient deity, do I really want it to be on the same page as a description of the plot of a video game? I think not. I'd much prefer to see two separate pages on this.
It just seems inappropriate that there is more written here about video games than there is about the actual wind deity himself.
[edit] Origins. BCE?
Iconographical evolution of the Wind God. Left: Greek Wind God (Greco-Buddhist art of Gandhara), Hadda, 2nd century. Middle: Wind God from Kizil, Tarim Basin, 7th century. Right: Japanese Wind God Fujin, 17th century.
The photograph in the Origins section has the above caption. Shouldn't those dates be indicated to be BCE? I don't know the answer.
