Kang Zeng Bang Poem

The Kang Zeng Bang Poem is a series of small poems featured on a colorspread in each Shaman King Kang Zeng Bang (“シャーマンキング　完全版" Shaman King Kanzenban; "Shaman King, the Complete Collection").

In addition to this, a poem is included on each ad wrapper that comes with a volume of the Shaman King Kang Zeng Bang.

Each of the poems focus on the character on the cover of the respective volume they appear. In the case of the poems on the colourspread, some refer to quotations in the manga series and were written by Hiromasa Mikami, the writer of Hiroyuki Takei's work Jumbor, and checked by Takei before the volume was published. The quotations were chosen not only to reflect the character, but were intended to be easily recognizable by the reader.
