Kashin Koji (果心居士), also called Shippo Gyoja (七宝行者, Pilgrim of the Seven Treasures), is a Japanese folkloric/legendary character of a late Muromachi period magician. There are stories of him performing magic before Nobunaga Oda, Hideyoshi Toyotomi, Mitsuhide Akechi, Hisahide Matsunaga, and others, but his historicity is questioned.[1]
