Kami
Origin: Japan
Kami are spirits in the Shinto faith. It is said that there are eight million Kami; eight million implying an infinite number. Some are similar to humans in appearance, while others are nature spirits that represent the energy of a mountain or a stream. Some Kami may even be ancestors of the royal family and even occupations have a patron Kami.
