Gikon

are souls designed by Shinigami scientists to separate a Shinigami's spirit from a Gigai, should they be inhabiting one, or to evict stubborn spirits from their corpses if necessary.

Overview
Artificial souls are used by ingesting a. The pill forces the soul out of the body and allows the artificial soul to take control of it, operating in a pre-programmed manner until removed by the Shinigami. They can also be used on a body that has no soul, such as a corpse, or even an inanimate object, such as a stuffed animal. These artificial souls possess their own personalities, which can be specially designed to fit one's specifications.

Soul Candy
Gikongan is commonly called, because the Shinigami Women's Association complained that its name wasn't cute and had it changed. To fit with the more informal name, Soul Candy is contained in toy dispensers that have the heads of cartoon characters on them. These dispensers come in many varieties, with some being more popular than others. Artificial souls tend to have personalities that reflect traits of their corresponding dispenser's character.
