The old man is called "Gama-Sennin" (ガマ仙人 in Japanese). Its literal translation is "Toad-Hermit" meaning a hermit who practice charm (or magic) using a toad. In ancient time, the story came from China to Japan and used here in various occasions, e.g., painting, artifacts as well as play in theater.
