In Japan, Ganesha is known as Kankiten or Seiten. He is often depicted with an elephant's head and four arms.

Ganesha was originally a young man created by Parvati from her own filth to guard against Shiva seeing her bathe. But when Shiva returned one day to find his path blocked by Ganesha, he cut the youth's head off, not knowing who he was. Seeing this, Parvati was stricken with grief, and Shiva, in panic, cut off the head of a passing elephant and placed it on Ganesha's shoulders. Ganesha was not happy with this, but came to accept it after being given a variety of powers.

Each god in Indian mythology is said to have his or her own mount to ride, Ganesha's is a mouse.
