Kyodai is a spirit entity from Kamigawa, that used to be an important part of O-Kagachi himself.
History
Kyodai was stolen from the Kakuriyo and imprisoned by daimyo Takeshi Konda in a stone disk known as That Which Was Taken, or simply The Taken One.[1] This act was the primary cause of the Kami War.
Kami War
Kyodai was bound to Michiko Konda, the daimyo's daughter. With the help of Toshiro Umezawa she was freed from the disk and manifested physically. She looked like Michiko's serpentine twin. Her name means "sibling". Kyodai brought Michiko in the Kakuriyo, showing her how her life was before being kidnapped by Konda and how awful it became during her last twenty years, spent imprisoned in stone. After that, she gave to Michiko the powers to fight alongside her.
Michiko and Kyodai, known together as the Sisters of Flesh and Spirit, defeated Konda and O-Kagachi, and claimed themselves the guardians of the barrier between the Utsushiyo and the Kakuriyo.
Future Sight
Many centuries after the Kami War, when Leshrac Nightwalker planeswalked near Kamigawa, the Sisters stood in his way, ordered him to go away from their plane.[2]
Neon Dynasty
More than 1200 years after the Kami war, Kyodai had a prominent temple in Towashi, near the Imperial residence.[3] Himoto, the Kami of the Spark, is the embodiment of the emperor's relationship with Kyodai.
