Okay, I conducted a "research" for the names, mainly for those whose names are already seen in the episodes - including Bishamon's but not including Tenjin's.

Apparently most shinki have the older form of Kanji character written on their body, but this is not necessarily so for all shinki. Kuraha's character for example (囷) uses Chinese character instead of Kanji, and the only word closest to it is 菌 (kin), meaning germs! Akiha's character (秋) has the components written in reverse - check how it was written in episode 7. Only some are written very close to the current Kanji characters, for example Mayu's former name Tomo (伴).

Also, not all old form characters can be typed. Mayu's for example (眞) can be typed, but Yukine's and Daikoku's can't. Besides not all of them are listed either online or in paperbacks, so finding the previous forms for the characters can be difficult.

So far the name I really can't decipher via Kanji dictionaries - paperback and online - is Kinuha's. Does anyone have a clear image of Kinuha's name in the 8th episode credits; preferably 1080p? (I only have 720p in mp4, so the screencap wasn't clear and didn't help me at all ;_;)

Editing the Shinki article may take a while because there are lots of things to be added and edited.
