Written with the characters of "thunder" and "dog", these holy hounds are venerated as protector spirits. Many of the "komainu" statues placed in shrines throughout Japan resemble them. When those who would defile holy ground were struck down with divine lightning, it is the Raiken who loosed the bolts.
Legend has it that Tachibana Ginchiyo's father, Tachibana Dosetsu, succeeded at cutting lightning, the defeated lightning spirit transformed into a Raiken, and has served as the Tachibana family's Guardian Spirit ever since. It is said that every Raiken has a mate, and their true power manifests when they are paired.
Paired Raiken charge forward. Upon hitting an enemy they repeatedly dash around in an X motion, damage and apply the lightning status element.
