This is the god that represents the direction of north, season of Winter, and element water.This god is called Genbu (Japan) or Xuan Wu (China).In China, Xuan Wu stands for wisdom and longevity and is associated with a high ranking officer.Like said in the home page, in Japan the four gods are fictional characters.There's a manga called Fushigi Yuugi Genbu Kaiden that tells the story of Genbu's priestess.This is a picture of the priestess of Genbu the 7 animated character constellations.The 7 constellations are named Hikistu, Inami, Uruki, Tomite, Umiyame, Hatsui, and Namame.The priestess's is Takiko Okudo.
This was the only small legend I found out of all the gods.
