{{#vardefine:transient jp en research file|A Transient from Wa no Kuni whose hobby is fishing. He engages in everything with an earnestness, which often instills good will with his diligence and bravery. However, the mark against him is that he often fails as well. He wanted to live in peace in a quiet place, but he feels pressure from being revered and worshipped by people around him for business prosperity and fishing facilitation. Is his happenstance meeting with that pushy someone who he once rode along with on the treasure ship a bottoming out of his luck or a fated reconnection? His new adventure is sounding out and starting here.}}

{{#vardefine:transient jp en research file|His fishing rod Sacred Artifact has the power to reel in anything it hooks up without fail. He also has a sea bream shaped cushion Sacred Artifact, and that has the power to change its size based on the current mood and float in space. It's normally used while fishing, but it can only be used by Ebisu and is not the sort of item that has a use other than as a seat cushion. The clear fish that float around Ebisu are a part of him and gush forth from his body. Cooking up the fish he reels up is also one of his strong points, and he is highly valued by the people who have eaten them.}}

{{#vardefine:transient jp en research file|Ebisu has become a mummy wrapped up in bandages for a Halloween costume this time. The wish that led him to pick that motif was the desire for everyone to eat his newly developed coated sausage, the Ebisumaki. But now that he's suddenly participating in Halloween, he's gotten himself entangled in the conflict of pranks and laughter. On an unrelated subject, up until this point Ebisu has been blessed with countless chances to be the straight man to the antics of free spirits around him like Benten and Hotei. However, this gentle boy has never really jabbed at other people's bodies much no matter how idiotic they behaved. Once a certain someone from somewhere lent him a certain Sacred Artifact, everything changed. Thus did Ebisu's cutting remarks take on a physical edge to them. When Hotei saw him like that, he feared him and called him "Kannon of the Thousand Hand Retorts!" Ebisu is the Transient said to have come back to life from Tokoyo no Kuni, otherwise known as the underworld, which gives him a sort of commonality with the faith known as Halloween.}}

* Ebisu is based on the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebisu_(mythology) deity of the same name.] Ebisu is the Japanese god of fishermen and luck. He is one of the seven gods of fortune and is the only one of those seven who originated from Japan without any influence from Hinduism.
* Ebisu is based on the [[wikipedia:Ebisu_(mythology)|deity of the same name]]. He is the ''kami'' luck and good fortune, patron of fishermen, and a member of the Seven Lucky Gods.  
** Of the seven, he is the only one who has originated from Japan without any influence from Hinduism.
* Ebisu is often depicted holding a fishing rod and a large red ''tai'' (sea bream).
** The ''tai'' is homonymous with ''medetai'' (congratulations), making it a staple of Japanese weddings and other major celebrations that invoke good fortune.
* Ebisu is a ''marebito'', or visiting deity. These deities come from an undefined place across the sea or deep in the mountains. If received properly, the ''marebito'' are said to return the host's kindness with gifts.
** In Ebisu's case, he is often caught by fishermen in their nets as he floats from place to place. When hauled in he turns into a stone that, if properly worshiped and given offerings of drink and fish, will bless the crew with fortunate catches.
* Ebisu is sometimes identified with whales because, like him, they come during a season bringing bounty then depart again to the depths of the sea.
* His relationship with Hephaestus and Ifrit are due to all three being discarded to some extent.
