Are Onmyougi mentioned in the article the same as Onmyoji? Brona 02:29, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Yes, and it is properly spelled onmyoji (or onmyouji). I also do not think that shikigami can accurately be called oni, which to my knowledge are a specific type of demon. I would say they are kami (神) or spirits.

"In the Manga Death Note Light Yagami finds Ryuk's, a shikigami, notebook can kill anyone if you write their name in the book. " That really should go under shinigami and not shikigami.128.195.94.216 22:53, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
Also, the phrasing is horribly awkward. I haven't touched it, though; I just corrected the problem with the pun-explanation being cut off half-way through, and fixed a couple of minor typos. I didn't realise until afterward that the explanation was originally complete (it was mangled in an anon edit on the 9th of May); feel free to revert to Marginoferror's original wording if you like.

Should it be mentioned in this article that Tsuzuki Asato from Yami no Matsuei can summon 12 different shikigami, like Abe no Seimei? I haven't seen him do more than two or so simultaneously, but I've not seen indication that he couldn't summon all 12, should he so desire. 65.190.52.238 09:02, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
Looking at the [Japanese article], it looks like the statement that Abe no Seimei could "summon and use twelve shikigami simultaneously" might be a mistranslation of his having the [Jūni-Shinshō] among the shikigami he used. Thoughts? Kotengu 08:45, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
