Kamui is a term that originates from the Ainu culture of Japan, referring to a spiritual realm or deity. In Ainu belief, Kamui represents the gods and spirits that inhabit the natural world, including animals, plants, and celestial bodies. These entities are revered and play a significant role in the Ainu's connection to nature and their cultural practices. In modern contexts, Kamui can also refer to various media representations, such as in anime and manga. For example, Kamui appears in the popular series X/1999 by CLAMP, where it is associated with themes of fate and conflict. The term has thus evolved to encompass both traditional and contemporary interpretations.
