Gozuryu, the five-headed dragon

The five-headed dragon of the Enoshima Engi (1047), who lived in a lake near the villages and harmed them for a thousand years, fell in love with Benzaiten when she raised her island from the bay, was refused until he reformed, and became the hill called Dragon's Mouth, facing her island.
