Well, this is the idea I mentioned earlier for the characters of 'Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends'. I thought that it would be cool if there was a version where they weren't imaginary friends, but rather spirits/kami/etc. and they lived in a haven of sorts in ancient Japan. Some of the inspiration came from 'Spirited Away', but the place would be in the "real" world, maybe like a temple or something. And sorry if my Japanese is off, I tried to use the appropriate translation for these names.

Anyway, here's the rundown. Frankie ("Furansesu") is a shrine maiden, a miko, who tends to the spirits and housing, like she does in the cartoon. Madam Foster ("Reifujin Youshin") owns the property and is either the founder or part of a long-kept family tradition of housing friendly spirits. Mac ("Makoto") probably found and befriended Bloo ("Aoi"), learned of this home for spirits, and brought him there, but continues to visit daily. Bloo ("Aoi") is something of a water spirit, so his form is in a constant flux. Coco ("Taketori") here is a mix between bird and bamboo, rather than coconut tree. Eduardo ("Edowarudo") is an oni, but just like the Ed in the cartoon: a big, cowardly softy. Lastly, Wilt ("Shibomu") is something of a gangly, tall amphibious spirit (the eyes are supposed to be kind of slug-like). All of the characters would have pretty much the same personalities as they do in the cartoon. I just tweaked their character designs a bit and the settings of the story.

Well, I hope you like the concept!
