I use the search engine A9.com which is the property
of Amazon.com, and I often get excellent results in
queries.  Searching on the term Shinkai Fudo Myo-o I
found the following:

Instead, he nominated Priest Shinkai {shin-kye}
(1229-1304) of Yakushiji in Tochigi Prefecture,
another great Shingon Ritsu temple, to be the founding
priest. Thus, Priest Shinkai joined the Temple in 1267
and stayed at the chief priest's post for as long as
nearly 37 years. Unfortunately, Sanetoki was of weak
health and had to retire from the official jobs at age
50. Thereafter, he lived here in Kanazawa resort. 

See http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~QM9T-KNDU/shomyoji.htm

A couple of pluses in using that search engine:

o  It will save your history so you can use the same
query repeatedly if you choose (you just have to sign
in using your Amazon.com account name and password).

o  The more you use the search engine, you incur
discounts when you purchase through Amazon.  It makes
it a nice extra feature for a quality engine.
