I am Hotei one of the Seven Gods of Fortune (The seven Lucky Gods) of Japanese myth and legend.  I am the fat and happy god of abundance and good health.  I am often seen in the Takarabune, our treasure ship, with Jurōjin, Fukurokuju, Bishamonten, Benzaiten, Daikokuten, and Ebisu on our way to distribute gifts of abundance to worthy people on New Year's Day. You can learn more about me at Wikipedia.
