Gyou

Its in-game sprite.

Gyou (ギョウ) is one of the creatures that Rin can reincarnate as in Eastern Mind: The Lost Souls of Tong-Nou.

Character

Unlike all other reincarnations and the protagonist, its name comes from a kanji that is not part of the Kuji, 行 (line, verse) as seen in its nameplate. One of its meanings, "to carry out" can call back to Gyou's role in the game. The kanji can also mean carya and samskara, which are buddhist terms; considering Eastern Mind was very influenced by buddhism, the meanings may be related.
