A recent entry at the Encyclopedia Mythica :

Kamui

The sky-god of the Ainu people of the island of Hokkaido. He is also called Tuntu, "support, pillar" of the world.

I really love how Clamp use mythological & esoteric references... there's so much interesting stuff to dig there.

For some reason, I recall that my Japanese studies professor always called them "the hairy Ainu." Is that a little strange? Yeah.

Sounds more racist than strange to me :(

That's interesting. The only other time I've seen the word Kamui outside X is in the title of an anime series ('The Dagger of Kamui', whatever that's about...). Just poking around on the internet now, though, according to Wikipedia there is also an Ainu solar goddess called 'Chup-Kamui'. I wonder if those myths are things CLAMP had in mind.

Heh, the first thing that came to my mind was "oh, Kamui is Emeraude?" *eg*
