Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows the names in Kanji of the shirei and able to type them out, so that I can understand the meaning of their names.
Joyu (Name of Youko's hinman)
Hyoki (Name of Keiki's shirei, the black cat like thing)
Thank you kindly in advance.

Well, some of the names don't make a lot of sense, but here they are (if your browser can display the characters). I think these are all of Keiki's shirei (plus his Nyokai).
芥瑚 - Kaiko (Keiki's Nyokai) [meaning: kai=mustard; ko=ancestral offering receptacle]
驃騎 - Hyouki (black cat-like shirei) [meaning: hyou=white horse; ki=equestrian]
班渠 - Hankyo (dog-like shirei) [meaning: han=sqad, unit; kyo=ditch, canal]
重朔 - Juusaku (ape-like shirei) [meaning: juu=heavy or piled up; saku=conjunction (astronomy), first day of month]
冗祐 - Jyouyuu (hinman) [meaning: jyou=superfluous; yuu=help]
雀胡 - Jakko (rabbit shirei) [meaning: jaku=sparrow; ko=barbarian]
Thank you !

Thank you so much for taking the time to type the names out (I can see all of them) you even included more than I was asking for, it's great! Hope to return your kind favor in the future
