		The Kudans

	In the world of the Hanshin republic, every citizen has their own spiritual guardian called Kudans. Visitors like Syaoran, Kurogane, and Fai, have their own kudans as well. *Kudans* are spirits that protect their masters by fighting other kudans. So it is quite obvious that people tend to show off their own spiritual guardians by battling each other, like Shougo and the gangster leader. However, one may use their Kudans among other things besides battling. For example, although the gangster leader appear to enjoy to battle Shougo, he's also doing this to win some property rights. It is believed that Kudans used to be Gods so that's why every single person honour their own spiritual guardians. Hence, each citizen is protected with a Kudan in the Hanshin Republic. A Kudan is controlled by one's own mind and heart. Therefore, it depends on how strong their master's mind and heart are since Kudans represent their master's personality. If they're unable to strengthen their powers mentally, then their Kudans will not be as strong. There are five levels of Kudans. Special Level/Level 5 would be the ones that have incredibly strong and powerful Kudans. And then there would be First Level, Second Level, Third Level, and Fourth Level (fourth level would be the weakest Kudans). Special Level First Level Fourth Level
