    Actually, isn't Shojo a Japanese God, or something?
    Actually I just googled it Shojo has 5 meanings. Depending on the emphases.
    Shōjo: Young girl (7-18)
    Shōjō: Sea spirit with a fondness for booze and covered in red hair, also Orangutan
    Shojo: Female virgin
    Shojō: Letter or message

    Also there is a Buddhist temple in Japan called Shōjō-ji. So no Japanese god called Shojo. Also I picked up from the Simpson's (when Lisa converted to Buddhism) that it accepts all forms of belief in so far as they line up with Buddhist beliefs. And Buddhism talks of beings who are god like compared to humans but not necessarily wiser. So really there are potentially dozens of Buddhist gods. Whom are local gods that the local sect has pick-up over the centuries.
