“In Hinduism, Ganesh, (IAST: Gaṇeśa), Vinâyaka, Gaṇapati (“the chief [Pati] of the troops of deities [Ganas]” or better “the lord of the categories”) or Pillayar in southern India is the god who removes obstacles. He is also the god of wisdom, intelligence, education and prudence, the patron of schools and knowledge workers. Recognizable by his elephant head, he is undoubtedly the most revered god in India, and his aura touches the entire Indian subcontinent and Asia in general. He is the son of Shiva and Parvati, the husband of Siddhi (Success), Buddhi (Intellect) and Riddhî (Wealth).
Ganesh's Japanese name is Shōten (聖天) or Kangiten (歓喜天), Japanese Buddhism considers him to be a manifestation of Shō Kannon Bosatsu (聖観音菩薩). In Japanese, the kanji 天 is used as an equivalent of the Hindu Deva.” Source Wikipedia
