- Mezuki (Horse-Face Simplified Chinese: 马面; Traditional Chinese: 馬面; Pinyin: mǎ miàn) and Gozuki (Ox-Head Simplified Chinese: 牛头; Traditional Chinese: 牛頭; Pinyin: niú tóu) are two fearsome guardians of the Underworld in Chinese mythology, where the dead face judgement (and punishment) prior to reincarnation. As indicated by their names, one has the head of an ox, and the other has the face of horse. They are the first people a dead soul meets upon arriving in the Underworld; in many stories they directly escort the newly dead to the Underworld. Usually, the two are mentioned together (牛头马面/牛頭馬面).
