Gaia

In some Japanese New Age movements, ガイア is treated as a sentient goddess, blending the Greek origin with indigenous Shinto beliefs in spirits residing in nature.
The term ガイア is frequently used in Japanese science fiction and anime to personify the planet as a living goddess or a sentient being.
Because ガイア is a foreign loanword, it is written using Katakana rather than the more common Kanji or Hiragana used for native Japanese words.
