Shinigami (死神, "Grim Reaper", "death bringer" or "death spirit") are gods or supernatural spirits that invite humans toward death in certain aspects of Japanese religion. Shinigami have been described as monsters, helpers, and creatures of darkness, often used for tales and religions in the country's folk culture
