Shinigami

Shinigami​ are spirits of people who committed suicide. They are responsible for collecting the souls of humans who are approaching death. When a human commits suicide he or she is reborn in the underworld as a Shinigami. Their first memories as shinigami are usually that of lying in a cracked eggshell, with little satisfaction and a feeling of emptiness.
