It should be noted that the world which Takato comes from is Earth. More importantly it is Earth as of January 2010 and contains many of the similar factors and political personnel that the actual Earth does. However there is a magical aspect hidden within his world. Basically it’s Earth with mythical creatures inhabiting it and some are rulers of nations like America. Mythologies are something of an underground sort of existence; not thoroughly believed in, but there are some people who know and work alongside them. Magicians for example are some of said people, however many magic users within this world don’t like mythica. The reason for this is because they are still feared for being so powerful despite their being trapped on Earth. For each mythica and its similar kin there are famous families. For instance for vampires the Dracula family is quite well known and powerful. Takato on the other hand is a simple spirit and not very well known on his own. His species, tsukumogami, however are very well known myths and fairytales. So while Takato and other minor spirits of his kind aren’t exactly famous they still have decent power residing within them.
Most mythological creatures walk the Earth under the guise a human being. They interact much the same way as ordinary humans do and are separated into their respective clans. Mythological creatures in this world are beings from a 4th dimension. The 4th dimension is a plane that exists outside the realm of human sight. You can equate it to something like heaven or Mount Olympus and usually the beings within it can cross back and forth between their plane and the plane humans inhabit by feeding on human belief. These beings came across Earth because of the potent magical energies Earth was giving off. They typically, and used to in the past, lived outside the realm which most people could see. They derive their energy on the strength of belief from these creation myths they made for humans. In return they taught people how to harness magic. But that makes one wonder as to why the mythologies would paint themselves in such ways? They were lost in translation due to fear and liberties taken by others, thus making them differ, sometimes greatly, from the original stories.
As the years and times changed people stopped believing in the old stories. Mythica, who so desperately sought to return to their home plane, were now trapped on Earth because they lacked sufficient power to cross back over. Many gods and goddess were prey to this and many of them could only muster enough strength to take on the form of human beings. An example would be Takato who, while being a spirit of a well-known myth, cannot exactly cross back over into the plane which he and so many other mythologies inhabit. This only increased tensions between mages and mythica, but there was one place that humans, mages, and mythica could coexist: Sprensonne Academy where Takato and many other stray and wayward mythologies have gone to in the past.
