A compiled variant portraying the ogre-general aspect of Kanekira Shika within Tamuramaro-style oni-slaying tales along the Kumanonada coast. He is said to have ruled from the ogres’ sea-eroded cavern known as the Demon’s Rock Dwelling, commanding a band of oni to disrupt maritime routes. In the clash with Tamuramaro, he feared Kannon’s protection, tightened his wards, and barred the stone door to endure a siege. Entranced by the dance led by a child avatar of Senju Kannon, he peered through the doorway and was fatally shot in the left eye. After his defeat, the head was buried in a ravine and ritually pacified. Local lore sometimes names him the pirate chief Tagamaru, with traces preserved in temple-shrine origin tales and toponyms such as Mamigashima, Tomari Kannon (Seimizu-dera), Ōma Shrine, and Onimoto. Historicity is uncertain; some see memories of suppressing revolts or local powers in Kumano later recast into Tamuramaro legend, yet all survive as narrative tradition.
