Hachiman shrines number in the tens of thousands, second only to Inari, and Usa Jingū in Kyushu is the head shrine. He was identified with the semi-legendary Emperor Ōjin and with his mother Empress Jingū, adopted as tutelary kami by the Minamoto clan in the eleventh century, and became the god of warriors — which is why he is at Tsurugaoka Hachimangū in Kamakura, at the centre of the first shogunate's capital. He is also the best example of the merged system: for most of Japanese history he was formally styled Hachiman Daibosatsu, a great bodhisattva, and worshipped by Buddhist clergy, and the Meiji separation had to strip the title. His messengers are doves, which sits oddly with the archery. In the twentieth century the war-god association was used heavily, and postwar Hachiman shrines emphasise protection and safe childbirth instead.
