Dai Tengu

Dai Tengu (大天狗) is a Kami-class spirit associated with the Asakura Family. It was first summoned by Asakura Yohken to defeat Asakura Hao during the Shaman Fight in AD 1500. It is currently the Guardian Ghost of Tamamura Tamao.

About
The greatest of the Shikigami spirits, Dai Tengu can only be summoned and controlled by those who have undergone extreme ascetic training.

It is first seen when Asakura Yoh was fighting his ancestor Asakura Yohken as a part of his training in Hell, and it is revealed by Matamune to be the Shikigami with which Yohken defeated Asakura Hao.

After Tamamura Tamao trained with the spirit of Yohken, during her high school years, she inherited the spirit and gained the strength to control it. She often uses it to intimidate and reprimand both Asakura Hana and her employees.
