Nezha, also known as Na Zha, is a prominent deity in Chinese mythology, frequently appearing in various forms of media. He's perhaps best known through his association with the classic novel Journey to the West.

Nezha is often depicted as a powerful and rebellious figure, born with extraordinary abilities. He wields weapons like the Fire-Tipped Spear and Wind Fire Wheels, granting him incredible speed and combat prowess. Stories often revolve around his conflicts with authority figures, particularly his own father, Li Jing (also known as Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King), due to Nezha's impulsive nature.

His appearance in film and television varies, but he's generally portrayed as a young boy or teenager with distinctive features like arm rings and a sash that floats behind him. Recent animated adaptations have further popularized him with modern audiences.
