Shinigami are not like usual kami. Nor are they youkai.
They work outside the bounds of mortals and don't need faith to persist.
In the first place, most mortals do not believe in shinigami. The reason they carry their large scythes is to convince a newly-dead mortal that "shinigami exist so I must be dead" (freshly deceased sometimes deny their situation, making the shinigami's job a hassle, this can be seen in Komachi's PoFV end).
