Five Sacred Masked Beasts

Five Sacred Masked Beasts are entities created by Paul Gekko through the cration of the Kagenato. Five of these beasts are described as divine beasts (神獣, shinjū), while the other four are referred to as divine priests (神官, shinkan).

Paul summons them by forming a tiger seal, declaring "Nine Mask Svāhā" (「九面蘇婆訶」, "Kumen Sowaka") and chanting the kuji-in, which conjures a massive mandala featuring each kanji of the kuji-in encircled by nine rings, arrayed in the same cross pattern he wears on his cloak. Each of the masked beasts emerges from a specific ring.
 * Seiryū (青龍; Literally meaning "Azure Dragon"), a dragon that resembles a seahorse. Emerges from the ring bearing the kanji 青 (sei, "azure").
 * Byakko (白虎; Literally meaning "White Tiger"), a lean and slender tiger. Emerges from the ring bearing the kanji 白 (byaku, "white").
 * Suzaku (朱雀; Literally meaning "Vermilion Bird"), a bird with elegant and dramatic plumage. Emerges from the ring bearing the kanji 朱 (shu, "vermilion").
 * Genbu (玄武; Literally meaning "Black Tortoise"), a tortoise with a shell made of overlapping plates. Emerges from the ring bearing the kanji 玄 (gen, "black").
 * Kinja (金蛇; Literally meaning "Golden Snake"), a massive serpent with golden scales. It can bind opponents by wrapping its body around them. Emerges from the ring bearing the kanji 空 (kū, "sky").
 * Tennyo (天女; Literally meaning "Celestial Maiden"), an angelic priestess with flowing robes. It uses translucent ribbons to whip at opponents. Like the Kinja, it can also bind opponents. Emerges from the ring bearing the kanji 玉 (gyoku, "jewel").
 * Shinigami (死神; Literally meaning "Death God"), a priest that resembles a skeleton and carries a scythe. A swing of this scythe unleashes sickle-like energy waves which drain targets of their chakra once they have passed through them. The waves can bypass the barriers set up by Hakuto Sennin and Nanto Sennin. Emerges from the ring bearing the kanji 三 (san, "three").
 * Hokuto Sennin (北斗仙人; Literally meaning "Northern Sage"), a priest with a fox staff. In unison with the Nanto Sennin, it can trap opponents in purple cylindrical barriers. Emerges from the ring bearing the kanji 北 (hoku, "north").
 * Nanto Sennin (南斗仙人; Literally meaning "Southern Sage"), the matching counterpart of Hokuto Sennin. In unison with the Hokuto Sennin, it can trap opponents in purple cylindrical barriers. Emerges from the ring bearing the kanji 南 (nan, "south").
