Onmyōdō: Difference between revisions

{{examples}}

* In ''Doomed Megalopolis'', an anime based upon ''[[Teito Monogatari (Literature)|Teito Monogatari]]'' (in Literature, below), the villain [[Yasunori Kato]] is an onmyoji. He is shown with gobosei on his gloves; as his magic often involves hand signs the gobosei may have served to focus/increase his power. At the beginning of the anime, Kato contends with the [[Tsuchimikado Family]] (the official clan of onmyodo specialists who served the Japanese Imperial Court in the Edo and Bakumatsu eras) led by Yasumasa Hirai, who is a descendant of Abe no Seimei. Later on in the anime, it is determined that Kato was born in the same hometown of Abe no Seimei, implying that he might also be a descendant (or at least a student). Throughout the anime, Kato utilizes many different onmyodo practices, including Shikigami, Feng Shui, and [[Kuji-In]] to achieve his ends. The heroes use o-fuda to resist his magics.

* Lin Koujo from ''[[Ghost Hunt (Manga)|Ghost Hunt]]''.

* Keikain Yura of ''[[Nurarihyon no Mago]]'' come from a onmyouji family specialising in shikigami and hunting youkai.
