Kami is the spiritual energy of ancestors that transmigrates from original ancestors and/or clan ancestors through successive generation.
This is what is meant by 'karma only transmigrates', the major tenet of Buddhism. It thus has nothing to do with the West concept of soul and the misconception of soul transmigration.
For the soul is a pagan concept stolen from neo-Platonian philosophy based on mere animism i.e. the body is host to anima/animus which is spiritual.
