Shinigami literaly translated means: Death God, or God of Death. It is most commonly used in the Anime/Manga "Bleach" and the Anime/Manga "Death Note".
In Bleach, Shinigamis' (Soul Reapers in the English Translation) main jobs are to send spirits to the Soul Society (aka. the afterlife) and to cleanse Hollows.
In Death Note, Shinigamis are the (original) owners of notebooks called the Death Note. If a name is written in the Note, then the person of that name would die, and the responsible Shinigami would gain life.

Excerpt from Shinigami - It's Gone:
it's oldschool life for the simpler days /
it's oldschool life with the simpler ways /
catch me chillin´ like a villain with a thousand plays /
but I know it's not gone - nah it ain't no phase

Shinigami will headkick you, steal your girl and clean out the buffet at the golden corral. He knows no mercy, and always strikes first. You can catch him on xbox under his gamertag DemoniousThorian, look for his mukbang videos!
