Kamui [TOP]

Kamui (also written "kamuy") are powerful divine spirits in the Ainu religion, somewhat similar to the kami in Shinto. In particular, this incarnation of Kamui is based on the figure known as Kim-un-kamuy, the kamui of mountains and bears. A ritual is performed by the Ainu wherein a bear cub is captured and raised in civilization for a year. Once a year has passed, the bear cub is shot by an arrow (referenced by a Russian Strela rocket in Kamui's design) and killed in order to return to the heavens and tell of humanity's gratitude.
