What is the first shikigami a user receives when they inherit the Ten Shadows technique?

Upon inheriting the Ten Shadows Technique, a user receives the Divine Dogs as their first shikigami. These twin dogs are the initial shikigami granted. To summon other shikigami, an exorcism ritual is performed where the user must conquer the shikigami, gaining full control over them. The shikigami can then be summoned using shadowgraphic hand signs.

Description

Megumi summoning a single dog from his shadow.

The Divine Dogs are a pair of twin wolves; one is white and the other is black. Both have three dots on their forehead of the opposite color that resemble the symbols of the Jewel of Turning Back on the Road and the Jewel of Plenty respectively.

The Divine Dogs are the first set of shikigami the user receives when they inherit the Ten Shadows technique. They are summoned by forming the shadow puppet of a dog's head, when the user clasps their hands together to create the proper shadow puppet which summons the twin wolves. They can also choose to summon a single dog rather than both.

Usage

Megumi Fushiguro

Megumi typically uses Divine Dogs to defeat weaker curses with their offensive abilities. Due to their acute senses of smell and hearing, Megumi also relies on their ability to warn him of incoming curses or uses them to lead him to specific targets.

The head of white Divine Dog after it was killed.

The white dog was killed by a Finger Bearer during Megumi's mission at the Eishu Juvenile Detention Center, preventing it from being summoned ever again. However, the black dog could still be summoned.

Later on, while Megumi was fighting against Hanami, the power of the deceased white dog was passed on to its black twin to allow it to become Divine Dog: Totality, granting the black dog enough power to damage special grade cursed spirits.

Sukuna

Sukuna summoning Divine Dogs without a stable form.

After seizing Megumi's body, Sukuna summoned Divine Dog without fully manifesting its form. Divine Dogs took on the unstable form of fluid shadows to expand their effective range while preventing total destruction. The primary drawback was that the shikigami couldn't operate independently from Sukuna's shadow, which compromised its overall strength, though Sukuna remedied this with his own immense cursed energy capacity and output. Sukuna displayed this ability in his fight with Yorozu but the shadows were quickly blown apart by her liquid metal.
