Onmyō Taisenki (陰陽大戦記) is a Japanese mixed-media project developed by WiZ and Bandai. A manga series, scripted by Yoshihiko Tomizawa and illustrated by Hiroyuki Kaidō, was serialized in Shueisha's V Jump magazine from November 2003 to December 2005, with its chapters collected in three tankōbon volumes. A 52-episode anime television series produced by Sunrise, NAS, and TV Tokyo, was broadcast from September 2004 to September 2005. Three video games were also released: one for Game Boy Advance in 2004 and two for the PlayStation 2 in 2005.
Riku Tachibana is a 12-year-old boy who lives near Tokyo. Never having met his parents, he lives an ordinary life with his adoptive grandfather. His grandfather had taught him a series of strange hand movements, which Riku did not know the purpose of until the day his grandfather is attacked near his shrine. But it is not an ordinary attacker. The attacker is a shikigami (式神, lit. 'Ritual Gods'), strange monsters with human owners. Riku comes to the scene and that's where he first gets in contact with his Drive (神操機), the device he uses to call and make a 'contract' (契約, keiyaku) with Kogenta of the Byakko, his shikigami and, from that day on, best friend. The shikigami needs, for special attacks, a special series of Seal (印, In), one of which happens to be the strange hand movements Riku's grandfather always taught him.
As Riku's grandfather decides to leave the house for a journey, the 10-year-old boy Souma Asuka (飛鳥 ソーマ, Asuka Sōma) and the 10-year-old girl Nazuna (ナズナ) rent rooms in Riku's house. The 17-year-old man, Masaomi, who teaches Riku the secrets of Onmyōdō (such as the use of Tōjinfu, for example), drops by eventually. The three of them have "contracts" with shikigami. The main events of the series are related to the menace of the Chi-ryū (地流), a powerful Japanese financial group related to the Onmyōdō; attempting to open the four Yondaiten (四大天, lit. the 'Four Great Heavens'), and freeing Utsuho (ウツホ), a boy who was born with the power to control yōkai (妖怪), and had been imprisoned for thousands of years.
