Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne
Koumoku appears as a guardian of the Bandou Shrine, guarding the pillar on the highest level. He will frequently use Dragon Eye, followed by either Rakukaja and Rakunda, along with Deathbound to strike the entire party. He will also occasionally mix in the Force skills Zandyne and Mazandyne. Using a demon that drains/repels Physical attacks and Wind skills is recommended to negate his extra press turns.

In Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne HD Remaster he appears with his full name, Koumokuten.

Shin Megami Tensei IMAGINE
Koumokuten can appear alongside the other kings in Ichigaya Camp's gold-level instance by defeating the Pisaca mini-boss on the basement floors.

Shin Megami Tensei IV
Koumokuten is faced in the Challenge Quest Tokyo Cosmo. He is found in the Nakano area of the Shinjuku Region. He appears alongside the other three once all four have been defeated to be fought as a group. Koumokuten mentions after the Four's final defeat that Flynn is the only one to defeat them without the Orb of the Four Gates breaking.

Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse
Koumokuten and the rest of the Four Heavenly Kings guard the temples that contain the jars of Aether which maintain the Tokugawa Mandala for the Divine Powers. Koumokuten can be found in the Hakujoin Temple, guarding the jar of Aether which contains the essence of Gluttony. Defeating Koumokuten will unlock him for Fusion in the Cathedral of Shadows.

Koumokuten can teach Nanashi the Ziodyne, Mortal Jihad, Sukukaja and Titanomachia skills through his Demon Whisper. He benefits from learning Physical, Electricity and support skills.

Shin Megami Tensei V
Koumokuten is a demon of the Kishin race and can be found as a punishing foe overlooking the area of Kamiyacho.

Persona 5
Koumokuten is the eighth Persona of the Hermit Arcana and can only be obtained through fusion in the Velvet Room. He is one of four Personas to learn Regenerate 2 and Deadly Fury and the only source of the Nuke Wall skill. When itemized through Electric Chair Execution, Koumokuten yields a Regenerate 2 skill card.

In Persona 5 Royal, Koumokuten can no longer learn Nuke Wall, making the skill impossible to be used by the party.

DemiKids Light & Dark
Known as Lord Sha, he can perform the combo Mega Flash with Lord Nan.

Devil Survivor
Koumokuten (named Koumoku due to character space limit) is one of the four Devas that protect the barrier between the demon and human worlds. On every ending save for Yuzu's, in order to gain access to the demon world (and thus, Babel) the protagonist's party needs to dismantle the barrier that the Devas protect. After Bishamon's defeat, Koumoku challenges the party with Zouchou, planning to make up for their lack of power with numbers.

Koumoku and Zouchou are unlocked for fusion after the protagonist defeats them.

Trivia

 * Koumokuten's design, which is borrowed directly from, has him carrying a writing brush and a scroll instead of any conventional weapon, indicating his focus on literature among the Four Heavenly Kings.
