Kyoutou Project/Playable Characters

Playable characters in Kyoutou Project fell into two categories: Shikigami (式神, "Familiar Spirits") were animal-like familiars who could be mass-produced, while Shintou or Shintoutsukai (神刀使い, "Divine Sword Masters") were anime-style human characters who would appear as chibi versions of themselves during battle, generally costing more to deploy than Shikigami. Allies were sorted into four rarities: EX, Rare, Super Rare and Uber Rare.
Every Shintou unit had two names: one for the character and one for their weapon. The weapon would change depending on their variant. For example, the default Kyosaka Nanaho unit held the title of Kyosaka Nanaho: Honoka (the name of her sword) while her squirtgun-wielding summer variant was called Kyosaka Nanaho: 77HO Splash.
==List of Shintoutsukai==
There were a total of 63 Shintou units. See here for a YouTube playlist showcasing all Shintoutsukai, voice lines included.
==List of Shikigami==
There were a total of 98 Shikigami including evolved forms and allied versions of enemies. See here for a YouTube playlist showcasing all of them.
==Trivia==
*Sakura Sonic and Miyu Karasama were the only Shintoutsukai to have no voice lines.
*Many of the Shintou weapons were named after famous Japanese swords or swordsmiths.
*The main Shikigami were based on the 12 Chinese zodiac animals (rat, ox, etc.)
