Ootakemaru (大嶽おおたけ丸まる, also sometimes called 鬼神きじん魔王まおう、大だいだけ丸まる、or 大竹おおたけ丸まる) is a figure in Japanese folklore. He resides on Suzuka Mountain, a connection of mountains and ravines bordering the Ise and Oumi countries,^[1] as a Kijin [jp]. He lived during the reign of Emperor Kanmu (781-806) and was one of the chief enemies of shogun Sakanoue no Tamuramaro. Ootakemaru mostly connected to the story of Sakanoue no Tamuromaro's oni extermination. ^[2] He is considered one of the Great Three Evil Yokai of Japan [jp] alongside Shuten-dōji and Tamamo-no-Mae,^[3] though some version of the list replace Ootakemaru with Sutoku-tenno.

Ootakemaru was said to be able to manipulate the weather such as storms and thunder, capable of creating dark clouds to cover Suzuka Mountain that rained fire.^[4]
