I don't remember very well, but I think Rinnosuke in CoLA explains that they are the shinto gods. basically gods exist before they have names, but once people give it a name, a god with personality and individuality is created, but if faith is lost and the god is forgotten, its uniqueness is diluted.
Example: a miracle happens and it starts to rain in a desert, it was the work of a god but since you don't know of any god that is capable of that, you say that it is the work of a new god, so they name it taki taki, which In Japanese it would come to mean "the god who makes it rain in the desert" so a temple is made for him and he begins to be venerated so that he can make it rain when needed.
This is how I understand it, I am not an expert on the subject nor do I remember much, but I think that with this explanation of how I understand it you can understand the subject a little better.
