Shikigami

Rokudou Family Shikigami

Meiko Rokudou and her mother control 12 Shikigami. Normally they are under Meiko's control, but whenever Meiko becomes distraught, they destroy anything or anyone within their reach. Unfortunately for all, Meiko is sensitive, weak-willed and easily hurt, therefore the Shikigami are set on the loose very frequently.

Meiko's Shikigami are named after the Japanese names of the Twelve Heavenly Generals, legendary Hindu figures who became Buddhists: Ajira, Anchira, Basara, Bikara, Haira, Indara, Kubira, Makora, Mekira, Sanchira, Shindara, and Shoutora. These are animal in form, caricatures of the symbols that these figures carry, which come from the Chinese counting series Earthly Branches.
