The Four Holy Beasts (四聖獣, Shiseijū) are a fictional set of Kami Class spirits in the Shaman King sequel manga series. They belong to the Dong Family, and the four members of the family who wield the spirits share the title.

About

The four spirits are said to guard the four corners of the world. They utilize dimensional arts to exert god-like abilities, such as space-time control, sensation control, and memory manipulation.

Because the Dong Family had largely lost their natural shamanic abilities, Dong Suhon began experimenting with sealing the spirits of the Four Holy Beasts within children gathered by Daremoine since he does not believe in putting them directly into robots. Dehon, Keihon, Yonhon, and Shahon were the only survivors of the experiment but are unaware that they contain the spirits of the Holy Beasts. The four children were given mechanical child-like robots, called "Karakuri Doji" (機巧童子（カラクリドウジ）, Karakuri Dōji, lit. "Mechanical Boys"), which resonate with the spirits and can draw out their abilities. These robots are controlled by bells which bear carvings that correspond to the spirits' animals, and their bodies can separate into pieces and then combine with the siblings' bodies through dimensional arts to create artificial New Trances.
