Cardinal Virtue (風林火山 Fūrinkazan?, lit. "Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain") is one of Lexaeus's weapons in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days; Cardinal Virtue+, the upgraded version, is his most powerful weapon. To wield Cardinal Virtue, Lexaeus must have the Pandora Gear attached.

The weapon's English name refers to the cardinal virtues of Christianity: Justice, prudence, temperance, and fortitude.

Its Japanese name is a reference to a quote from Sun Tzu's The Art of War which was used as a battle standard by the Sengoku period daimyo, Takeda Shingen. In the original passage, the quote reads:

"Let your rapidity be that of the wind, your compactness that of the forest.
In raiding and plundering be like fire, be immovable like a mountain."
