In Japanese Lore

Kagutsuchi (カグツチ, historically 迦具土の神 or 火之迦具土; lit. "Incarnation of Fire". or 火産霊; lit. "Causer of Fire") was the final child of Izanami (イザナミ, historically 伊弉冉尊 or 伊邪那美命; lit. "She Who Invites") and her husband Izanagi (イザナギ, historically 伊邪那岐; lit. "He Who Invites"). As a god who was born either made of fire or constantly expelling fire, his birth caused Izanami to be burned to death. In revenge, Izanagi cut off Kagutsuchi's head, then sliced his body into eight pieces, which became eight volcanoes. A shrine was built for him on Mt. Atago near Kyoto, where it is said he made his home.
