Hi,
Very nice. I think it calls for a few sequels. (Ryouga,
Kodachi, Genma, etc. (and maybe we could turn Ukyou
back??? Or at least make her an Irish Wolfhound ^_^))
I think Kuan Ti is your best bet for God of Justice.
I'm not sure of the Japanese equivalent.

I'm sending three URL's that may help.

KUAN TI (CHINA/GOD) God of war. The Great Judge who
protects the people from injustice and evil spirits. A
red faced god dressed
always in green. An oracle. Kuan Ti was an actual
historical figure, a general of the Han dynasty
renowned for his skill as a warrior and his
justness as a ruler. There were more than 1600 temples
dedicated to Kuan Ti.
KWAN YIN (CHINA/GODDESS) also KWANNON (JAPANESE NAME
FOR KWAN YIN/GODDESS) Buddhist origin. Goddess of
fecundity, healing, mercy and compassion. "She who
bears the cries of the world," and sacrifices her
Buddhahood for the sake of the suffering
world. Also knwon as Sung-tzu niang-niang, "the Lady
who Brings Children." Her image is in most Chinese
homes, sitting on a lotus flower, with
a child in her arms, or sometimes a lion. She is also
described as a magician, a teacher of magic, an
oracular goddess and sometimes a prostitute.
In rural China a man normally approaches her through a
woman intermediary; if none is available and he has to
appeal to her himself, he
appologizes for the ommision. A lady dressed in white
seated on a lotus and holding an infant. Murdered by
her father, she recited the holy books
when she arrived in Hell, and the ruler of the
underworld could not make the dead souls suffer. The
disgruntled god sent her back to the world of
the living, where Kwan Yin attained great spiritual
insight and was rewarded with immortality by the
Buddha. A popular goddess, Kwan Yin's
temple at the Mount of the Wondrous Peak was ever
filled with a throng of pilgrims shaking rattles and
setting off firecrackers to get her attention
