Shakugan no Shana is a Japanese light novel series written by Yashichiro Takahashi with accompanying illustrations drawn by Noizi Ito. The series follows Yuji Sakai, an ordinary Japanese high school boy who inadvertently becomes involved in a perpetual war between forces of balance and imbalance in existence. In the process, he befriends the title character: a fighter for the balancing force, whom he takes to calling "Shana". The series covers 27 novels published between November 9, 2002 and November 10, 2023 under ASCII Media Works' Dengeki Bunko imprint. Viz Media once published the first two volumes in English, although the rights to the series have been dropped, thus leaving them out of print.

Corps badges in the American Civil War were originally worn by soldiers of the Union Army on the top of their army forage cap (kepi), left side of the hat, or over their left breast. The idea is attributed to Maj. Gen. Philip Kearny, who ordered the men in his division to sew a two-inch square of red cloth on their hats to avoid confusion on the battlefield. This idea was adopted by Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker after he assumed command of the Army of the Potomac, so any soldier could be identified at a distance.
