Above even the mighty void yai oni exist oni quasi deities1—entities of nearly incomprehensible power known by the title of kishin1 or oni daimyo.23 The great leaders among the oni are as numerous as the nations of the world, and all oni seek to climb the rungs of power to become such powerful entities.4[citation needed]
