Mitama (ミタマ) refers to the spirits of dead heroes in the Toukiden continuity. Depending on the Japanese religious faith, the real world definition for mitama is an honorific for a soul or incorporeal aspects of a soul, such as aramitama or kushitama (Shintoism). The closest English equivalent to it would be "psyche".

Demons can consume a soul, allowing it to remain conscious after death. Reputable figures or heroes can resurrect departed souls as Mitama, retaining memories and abilities. If a soul is reborn, they must be freed from the demon. Slayers can telepathically converse with Mitamas, but only one Mitama per person is allowed. Simultaneous interactions with multiple souls are rare, a gift the protagonists naturally exhibit.

According to Lady Akatsuki, Christmas is a celebration of Santa Claus's heroics. Several hundred years before the main setting, he was spotted fighting against the demons and allegedly lost his life in battle. His legendary Mitama continues to wander Nakatsu Kuni to give presents on the holiday. It's rumored that Slayers have a chance to converse with his spirit if they slay demons during the day of his annual duty.
