Lit. the youth Kongara. One of two chief attendants of *Fudō Myōō 不動明王 (the other is *Seitaka dōji 制た迦童子). Also counted among Fudō Myōō's eight attendants*hachidai dōji 八大童子. His name Kongara (also read Konkara) is a transliteration of Sanskrit kimkara, meaning servant, slave, and he is said to personify obedience. He is most commonly found accompanying Seitaka in the Fudō triad, Fudō sanzon 不動三尊, standing to the left of Fudō. According to the Hachidai dōjihiyō hōbon 八大童子秘要法品, he assumes the form of a fifteen-year-old youth with pale-colored skin, wears a lotus crown and has a single-pronged vajra resting between the thumb and forefinger of each hand which are clasped together before his breast. Actual artistic representations of him found in Japan do not necessarily follow these prescriptions. Kongara dōji is also mentioned as an attendant of deities other than Fudō and in a rite dedicated to him in the Fukūkenjaku Daranikyō 不空羂索陀羅尼経 he is described as a *Yasha 夜叉 of wrathful appearance, which contrasts his peaceful mien as an attendant of Fudō.
