In the real world, the religion of the Ainu people is an animist one, marked by the belief that "everything in nature has a kamuy (spirit or god) on the inside". Major deities include Kamuy-huci, Goddess of the Hearth, Kim-un-kamuy, God of Bears and Mountains, and Repun Kamuy, God of the Sea, of Fishing, and of Marine Animals. There is also a creator deity, Kotan-kar-kamuy.
