鬼神伝説 - The Kishin legend of Onizawa
There is a legend in Onizawa describing a benevolent Oni, more of a mountain-man than a demon.
As the story goes, the Oni was a friend of a villager 弥十郎 Yajuro, and offered to assist in the construction of a dam to collect water for his rice paddies. He did so under the condition that no-one watched him as he worked. Naturally, the villager’s wife breaks the rule by sneaking over to spy on the Oni. The Oni runs away, never to appear again; however, he leaves in such a hurry that he forgets all of his tools. The metal remains of these massive ogre-sized tools — a saw, an ax, a hoe, etc — are now collected and displayed at the Oni shrine in Onizawa.
(Told by Joshua Solomon)

The villagers in Onizawa have a fond relationship with this Oni Deity - 鬼が神様なのである.
At Setsubun, they do not throw beans to drive the Oni away.
At the Boy's festival they do not thatch the roof with mugwort and iris to drive the Oni away.

The Oni here might have been some outlaws in hiding or even Koreans in hiding, which Tamuramaro expelled.
