- Legend knows this:

Shoo-u Ryuu 請雨瀧 Sho-U Ryu
The Dragon God who brings rain

請雨瀧不動尊 Sho-U-Ryu Fudo
When Kobo Daishi Kukai left Mount Yudonosan 湯殿山 after founding a temple there, he came to the village 最上荘大早魃. People asked him to pray for some rain, so Kobo Daishi bowed to the direction of the Dragon (tatsumi 辰巳 - south-east).
Soon "Thunder Fudo" appeared and it began to rain large drops in the plain.
Kobo Daishi then asked the farmers to pray to this deity.
