The Makura Empire is an organization that consists of various Digimon that have either originated from or ended up in the Dark World, a place parallel to the Digital World. It is loosely led by Shinji Makura, the groups founder and namesake, and has three high-ranking members that serve as administrators under him. The group operates as antagonists through much of their appearance, with the primary goal of the empire being the destruction, and re-building of, the Digital World.
