Artemis was worshipped in Asia minor. I had to work hard to find a deity that I would term "Asian", though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artemis This page shows a statue (#12) of a Tibetan wolf-headed deity, but does not name the deity. http://tibet.hermetic.ch/#wolf_deity http://tibet.hermetic.ch/images.php?object=wolf_deity There is a Japanese deity, Yama-no-kami, who is said to have wolf messengers. Japan is more of the Pacific Islands than Asia, though. http://wiki.samurai-archives.com/index.php?title=Okami_(folklore) http://www.swampfox.demon.co.uk/utlah/Articles/japwolf.html We have mention of a wolf in a Mongol Creation Myth. http://ccbs.ntu.edu.tw/FULLTEXT/JR-EPT/stuart1.htm We have a mention of a Korean goddess, Haemosu, who changed into a wolf. http://www.unsolvedmysteries.com/usm290032.html Apparently, wolf deities are fairly common in Shinto shrines. http://www.wolf.org/wolves/news/iwmag/2003/winter/world.pdf http://www.bookrags.com/research/wolves-eorl-14/
