Divine-Beast (Japanese: 幻（げん）神（しん）獣（じゅう） Genshinjū, "Phantom God Beast"), simply called God (Japanese: 神（かみ） Kami) in the manga, is a Type of Monster Card.

It debuted as the V Jump February 2009 promotional card in the OCG, and the Shonen Jump Vol. 8, Issue 1 promotional card in the TCG. While Divine-Beast monsters were printed as far back as in 2000 as promotional cards for the three separate versions of Yu-Gi-Oh!
