  Shikigami - TouhouWiki
Shikigami are used to protect and serve their master, much like the Western concept of the wizard's familiar.
The type of shikigami seen in the Touhou world are distinct entities, not initially created by the onmyouji that, through some circumstances, have agreed to or have been bound to assist the onmyouji.
Shikigami often share a special link to their masters, which may cause their onmyouji to receive sympathetic injuries dealt to the shikigami.

  Shikigami - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shikigami cannot be seen by most people, but according to the Heian period onmyōji who were said to control them, shikigami often looked something like a child-sized oni demon.
Two shikigami were featured, Kujo, a female shikigami, looked after the house and acts like a mothering figure to both Kodama and Kokoro, while the younger Nishiki is summoned subconsciously when a pupil at Kokoro's school is possessed and tries to kill her.
Her main shikigami is a fl cat named Shiki, which she uses to lead the heroes around for a time, and she uses both robed creatures simply named "Shikigami" and clones of herself to assist in battle.

 Science Fair Projects - Shikigami
In the Japanese culture, Shikigami (also called shikikami) are spirits summoned to serve or protect an Onmyoji, much like the western concept of a wizard's familiar.
Shikigami can take the forms of birds or other small animals, and the more powerful of the shikigami can even take possession of a person.
The range of abilities possessed by a shikigami is dependant on the Onmyoji's capabilities.

 www.got-next.com // Castle Shikigami 2 PlayStation 2 Review
Castle Shikigami 2 is a member of the scarce family Shooter, a gaming genre that, though it's seen better days, retains a loyal fan base and is even making a small resurgence.
Of the three shooters released this year, Shikigami 2 is the only vertical one, and the first vertical shooter since last year's Mobile Light Force 2.
Castle Shikigami 2 may not be the pinnacle of the shooter genre but it is a fun ride while it lasts, and its $10 price means that it's not exactly a bank-breaker for those curious about it.

 Anime-Myth.com v. With You
When a hitokata becomes domesticated or binds itself to a human, it becomes a shikigami (a fairy or spirit that is bound by contract to love and serve a human).
Magic: Shikigami are servants or familiars to an onmyoji (a practioner of a form of Taoism that is based on magic and astrology of yin and yang), which are what Shikigami Masters are.
The shikigami are a bit different; once they are tied to a human they depend on their Master.

 Shikigami   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The shikigami and the onmyouji became inseparable in terms of legend, as an onmyouji without at least one shikigami seemed ridiculous.
Shikigami are seen much as a witch's familiar, almost an extension of the people themselves.
Whether it is the kind of shikigami made of paper and given life by the energies of the onmyouji, or the kind of shikigami that is a separate entity who obeys the onmyouji, it is certain that the shikigami is important and a crucial part of the supernatural community involving the youkai themselves.

 Onmyou Taisenki - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shikigami can also transform into Daikoujin form by forcing a Toujin stone into a Shikigami, as Isou does to his Shikigami Fuji in Episode #20 (or by inserting a special chip made from the Toujin stones into the drive).
When a Drive is activated for the first time, the Shikigami will appear behind a shoji and asks what the owner desires, and if it is to the Shikigami's liking, it will accept and a contract will be formed.
However, when a contract is broken (Shikigami dies or Toujinshi tries to break the contract), the Toujinshi loses all the memories built since when he first contracted with the Shikigami and usually wanders around lost and depressed while the Shikigami is sent to Naraku (underworld, hell).

Shikigami II is actually an interesting parallel to the aforelinked Ketsui.
Shikigami is a good example of how to make a sequel appealing within the confines of a genre-based sequel.

In Japanese mythology, Shikigami are spirits conjured to serve Onmyoji (sorcerers).
In various Manga series, the Shikigami are depicted as spirit servants made from folded and cut paper (a wordplay on Shikigami, which resembles the character for paper).
Shikigami is Japanese for "ceremonial spirit"; shiki "ritual, ceremony" + gami "spirit, deity".

 Castle of Shikigami 2 (Import) - Dreamcast Review
Castle of Shikigami 2 (henceforth CoS2) has managed the unthinkable: it has mimicked almost every non-graphical aspect of part one, yet has turned out to be somehow worse than its predecessor.
CoS2 is the successor to Shikigami No Shiro, or Castle of Shikigami 1, released in the States under the title Mobile Light Force 2.
Alfa System's Shikigami sequel is already as much of a non-challenge as Gunbird 2 was on the 1 setting; to provide an easier setting than even that is to insult the skill of the player.

 PS2 Game Reviews: Castle Shikigami 2
Castle Shikigami 2 is one of the new breed of shoot 'em ups that employ what fans refer to as "buzzing." Simply put, buzzing means flying as close as possible to enemy bullets without touching them.
Shikigami attacks and bombs can also neutralize bullets, and they do a fine job of slashing away the bosses' life meters too.
You may not be able to get through the game in your first few plays, but after a few hours and a few continues, you'll probably find yourself challenging the final stage.

 Shikigami no Shiro II For PS2 1UP - Find Articles
Confirming that its proprietors may be sane after all, developer Alfa System announced plans to release its arcade vertical shooter Shikigami no Shiro II for the PlayStation 2 in Japan next January, Impress Game Watch reports.
Shikigami, like Cave's ESPrade (which was likely inspired by Psychic Force, which in turn bit all of its style from the comicbook and animated movie X/1999) features supernaturally-powered humans as its protagonists, instead of the more traditional spaceships that have in the past been ubiquitous to the shooter genre.
The Japanese version of Shikigami is due out for PS2 on January 29, and we wouldn't necessarily bet against the prospect of an American release -- XS Games published the original on PS2 behind a wonderfully ghettoized piece of cover art as Mobile Light Force 2.

A great point about Shikigami No Shiro II is that every one of the characters has their own unique way of shooting just like characters of a fighting game have their own unique fighting style.
I can imagine that a lot of you out there are asking "Is Shikigami No Shiro II better than Psyvariar 2?" Well, that's a tuff one to answer.
I love both of them but I'd have to say Shikigami No Shiro 2 would be my favorite due to the style of the characters appealing more to me. As far as game play goes I'd say Psyvariar 2 will have you on the edge of your seats more.

 Meta Review: Castle of Shikigami 2 - Dreamcast, PS2, Gamecube, XBox : Retro Gaming with racketboy
Castle of Shikigami 2 (also known as Shikigami No Shiro II) naturally originated in the arcades and was later ported to the Sega Dreamcast (in the series of late shmups that kept the DC import scene alive), Playstation 2, Nintendo GameCube, and Xbox.
The game was released in Japan for each of those mediums and was later brought to the States on PlayStation 2 by XS Games (as Castle Shikigami 2).
Bullet hell shooters typically throw tons of firepower about the screen, much of which simply creates pretty patterns rather than threatening the player, but compensate for the bullet density by making the part of the player that can be hit smaller than the actual character graphic.

Castle Shikigami 2 is actually the true sequel to Mobile Light Force 2 and in Japan is simply known as Shikigami no Shiro 2.
There is a story in Castle Shikigami 2, but it's rather incoherent due in part to the poor subtitles/English translation effort.
The graphics in Castle Shikigami 2 are ok. Though a 2-D vertical shooter, the backgrounds are rendered in 3-D and rotate.

I read about Shikigami no Shiro a few months ago, and figured I’d go ahead and pre-order it on a whim.
Now that I finally have the game and had a chance to play through it a few times, I’m left with mixed feelings.

But if all of that sounds a little too generic, the characters’ Shikigami attacks, which can be executed by holding down on the fire button for a few seconds before releasing.
You’ll be treated to a strange (albeit incredibly deadly) array of moves, such as Niigi using her beloved kitty as a deflecting shield, Hyuga tossing out a giant three-pronged taser, Kuga’s heat-seeking dolphin, Kim dual-wielding a pair of huge energy sabers, Sayo’s spinning laser blade, and Roger’s Bubbles of Doom.
As games like R-Type Final and Gradius V bask in the limelight of popularity, Castle Shikigami 2 is left out in the cold, an obscure shooting game with just enough personality to set it apart from the rest.
