Kagutsuchi is the Shinto god of fire in Japanese mythology also known as Hi-no-Kagutsuchi. He is the father of 8 gods, including those from the mountain and warrior realms. Due to the destructive power of fire, he became an important part of Shinto ritual. He was killed and decimated into multiple pieces giving rise to volcanoes in the region.

From what we know from mythological records, Kagutsuchi was extremely hot to the touch and was either composed completely of fire or used to frequently spout fire.
