Yama (Buddhism and Chinese mythology)
Yama is the name of the Buddhist god and judge of the dead, who presides over the Buddhist Narakas (Pāli: Nirayas), "Hells" or "Purgatories". Although ultimately based on the god Yama of the Hindu Vedas, the Buddhist Yama has developed different myths and different functions from the Hindu deity. He has also spread far more widely, and is known in every country where Buddhism is practiced, including TibetChina and Japan.

Yan-lo
[Chinese] The god of the dead, lord and judge of the Fifth Hell. Punishment in this hell is the memory of things past. Yan-lo is completely identical to the Hindu god of death, Yama. In Chinese myth, however, he holds no power over those who by their excellence on earth pass to higher planes of existence. He is also simply referred to as Wang. Yan Lo's birthday is the 8th of the First Moon.
