ekibyô no kami, also called yakubyôgami or ekibyôgami, is the  •  kami of plague and pestilence . ekibyô no kami came to prominence during the Age of Plagues (700 ad - 1050 ad) when Japan suffered from an almost continuous series plagues introduced from the Asian mainland. The  • kyôto gion matsuri , held to appease the kami of disaster and plague, is one outgrowth of this period.

norito are offered to ekibyô no kami on the ninth day of each month.
