In Japanese belief, Kusi Mitama, romanized as Kushi Mitama, is an aspect of the human soul known as the "wondrous soul," which appears together with Saki Mitama, the providing soul, which is the power behind the harvest. It is believed to be have mysterious powers, to cause transformations and to be able to cure illnesses, as according to Shinto belief.
"One of the four aspects of the human soul, as described in Shinto teachings. It is said to bring good luck in the areas of health and medicine."
—Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne profile
Kusi Mitama is the third demon of the Mitama race and can be obtained either by fusing the Element race demons Erthys and Flaemis or by purchasing it at Rag's Jewelry in Ginza for one Jade stone and one Opal. A higher level Kusi Mitama can be purchased with multiple stones. Unlike other demons, fusing Kusi Mitama with another demon will power up that demon, with some restrictions. The demon being powered up must have available skill slots to receive skills from Kusi Mitama and cannot have its stats boosted more than double its base stats, depending on the demon's level. Kusi Mitama will increase the Vitality and Agility stats of a demon during fusion.
Kusi Mitama can only be obtained through fusion or by trading in jewels at Rag's Jewelry. By using an Kusi Mitama in the initial mitama fusion, a demon's post-mitama growth bonuses will focus on Speed, Intelligence and Magic.
