Kunitsu is a recurring Race of Demons in the Megami Tensei franchise.
Profile
Kunitsukami are a category of kami in Japanese mythology and early Shinto tradition. The term generally refers to the earthly deities who inhabit and rule the terrestrial realm, Ashihara no Nakatsukuni, in contrast to the heavenly deities known as the Amatsukami. Kunitsukami appear prominently in the myth cycles recorded in the Kojiki (712 CE) and the Nihon Shoki (720 CE), particularly in narratives concerning the pacification and transfer of the land (kuni-yuzuri) from the earthly gods to the descendants of the sun goddess Amaterasu.
In games with the species mechanic, Kunitsu is classified under the Kishin[a] species.
