「竜神」

repun kamuymedium
Repun kamuy is directly documented as the offshore deity and orca; Kayano explicitly prints the spaced analysis. These complete-form matches justify raising confidence above a mere 龍/竜 heading mismatch. Narrative contexts also attest the sea deity, sometimes with an explicit orca gloss. The Japanese 竜神 expresses a religious comparison and does not establish that this entry identifies a dragon as an animal species. The source’s フ and カモイ spellings are preserved beside the normalized interpretation.
